The people were becoming lax and not following the ways of G-d and the Torah. Therefore, G-d sent prophets to return the people to the correct path. Unfortunately, the people did not always heed the warnings and eventually they suffered the consequences.
The reason is the opposite of what most people think. Consider these verses:"You understand in your heart, that just as a man rebukes his son, the Lord your God rebukes you (plural)" (Deuteronomy 8:5)
"Only you (plural) do I (God) know from among all the families (nations) of the Earth; therefor do I take mind of all your sins" (Amos 3:2)
And the very last of the Israelite prophets:
"I love you (plural), says God" (Malachi 1:2).
These verses make it clear that it is out of His love for them that God rebuked the Israelites through His prophets. Like a magnifying mirror that enlarges one's blemishes, the prophets castigated the Israelites in order to keep them from slipping too far from perfection. Other nations were not continuously rebuked because they never sought perfection to begin with.
The Deuteronomic History (Joshua, Judges, 1and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings) frequently reports the prophets berating the Hebrews for their lack of faith in God. As the History is a well-integrated set of books clearly written long after the event by a single author, now known as the Deuteronomist, these are clearly not verbatim records of conversations. In fact, even if we accepted the traditional view of multiple authors in an earlier time, it would still not have been possible for the authors to know of and remember so many conversations.
The passages in which the prophets scolded the Hebrews were inserted in hindsight, to suit a theological purpose. This type of citation was normal practice throughout the ancient world.
The true prophets were God's messengers.
