Misused his prophets - Rather, "scoffed at his prophets." The allusion is to verbal mockery, not to persecution.
But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till [there was] no (g) remedy.
(g) Till God could no longer allow their sins, but must punish them.
But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words,.... Which was the treatment Jeremiah and Ezekiel frequently met with:
and misused his prophets; imprisoned them, as Micaiah and Jeremiah were:
until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people; which burned like fire in his breast, and broke out to the consumption of them:
till there was no remedy; or healing of them; there was no reclaiming or recovering of them, no bringing them to repentance, and no pardon for them.
No remedy - Because the people would not repent, and God would not pardon them.
