Why does it say "Al Tislotzatzu Pen Yechzeku Mosereichem"?

1.

Avodah Zarah 18b: Anyone who scoffs is afflicted.

2.

Rashi: Do not say "we made a Bris with death" (15).

3.

Radak: The Hispa'el conjugation (Tislotzatzu) is used because they used to do so very much, like "Misnakesh b'Nafshi" (Shmuel I, 28:9), "Misdafkim Al ha'Deles" (Shoftim 19:22), and similar verses. Do not mock Hashem's words more, lest your afflictions be stronger. Everything is according to your deeds; the punishment will come.

4.

Orchos Tzadikim (Sha'ar ha'Shetikah, DH v'Da): When scoffing is fixed in a person, in the end he will cast off the yoke of Shamayim. Therefore, punishments come upon him, Midah k'Neged Midah.
