Well, they are on their way into exile and captivity. Jerusalem is captured. The LORD is accomplishing what He promised to do because of the evil that was done in the sight of the LORD.
God had given them so much, but they had forgotten how He had delivered them from Egypt. They had forgotten how they had to wander around in the wilderness for 40 years because of their lack of trust in Him. Even after receiving the promised land, they did not trust the LORD, their God and followed after and gave offerings to other gods of their own making and imaginations. And... now they are heading, once again, toward exile and bondage.
What is it exactly about the human race that we just cannot give credit to where credit is due? Why is it that we insist on NOT giving thanks and glorifying God?
May our hearts be softened and our whole beings turned to Worship the only One who can deliver us...
