GOD is not obligated to tell us why we're being punished or suffering. Doing so would ruin His master plan of revealing people's sins to them on Judgment Day, after it's too late.
Did GOD tell Job why he and his family were suffering? No.
Did GOD tell the firstborn of Egypt and their parents why they were being slaughtered? No. GOD only provided instructions to the Israelites on how to save their own children from slaughter, because the passover of GOD's angel of death might inadvertently kill them too.
Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel [not Egypt], saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:-Exodus 12:3
So, the use of a punishment you don't know the reason of is to punish you. And strengthen your faith.
