Explanatory Note

He then warns them against punishment that may befall them on an awesome day. His warning expresses his fear for their end, because he is one of them, their brother, and he wants to spare them the hardship of that day which is certain to come.  But his reminders and warnings do not touch their hardened hearts. They stubbornly refuse to mend their ways: “They answered: It is all one to us whether you admonish us or you never give admonition.” This is a derogatory way of speaking, one which expresses their carelessness for whatever he might say.
