- Because they forsook:
- "And they forsookª°¹ the LORDª Godª of their fathers,ª which brought them outª°¹ of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª and followedª²°¹ otherª gods,ª of the godsª¹ of the peopleª that¹ [were] round aboutª them, and bowed²° themselves¹ unto them, and provoked¹¹ the LORDª to anger.ª° ... And they forsookª°¹ the LORD,ª and servedª° Baalª and Ashtaroth.ª" {Jdg 2:12-13} + "And I will utterª° my judgmentsª against them touchingª all¹ their wickedness,ª who¹ have forsakenª° me, and have burned incenseª° unto otherª gods,ª and worshippedª° the worksª of their own hands.ª" {Jer 1:16} + "All¹ thine enemiesª° have openedª° their mouthª against¹ thee: they hissª° and gnashª° the teeth:ª they say,ª° We have swallowed [her] up:ª° certainlyª this¹ [is] the dayª that we looked for;ª°¹ we have found,ª° we have seenª° [it]. ... The LORDª hath doneª° [that] which¹ he had devised;ª° he hath fulfilledª° his wordª that¹ he had commandedª° in the daysª¹ of old:ª he hath thrown down,ª° and hath not¹ pitied:ª° and he hath caused [thine] enemyª° to rejoiceª° over¹ thee, he hath set upª° the hornª of thine adversaries.ª" {Lam 2:16-17} + "For the sinsª¹ of her prophets,ª [and] the iniquitiesª of her priests,ª that have shedª° the bloodª of the justª in the midstª of her, ... They criedª° unto them, Departª° ye; [it is] unclean;ª depart,ª° depart,ª° touchª° not:¹ when¹ they fled awayª° and¹ wandered,ª° they saidª° among the heathen,ª They shall no¹ moreª° sojournª° [there]." {Lam 4:13-15} + "And they shall comfortª° you, when¹ ye seeª°¹ their waysª and their doings:ª and ye shall knowª° that¹ I have not¹ doneª° without causeª¹ all¹ that¹ I have doneª° in it, saithª° the Lordª GOD.ª" {Ezk 14:23} + "Sonª of man,ª when the houseª of Israelª dweltª° in¹ their own land,ª they defiledª° it by their own wayª and by their doings:ª their wayª was¹ beforeª me as the uncleannessª of a removed woman.ª ... And when they enteredª° unto¹ the heathen,ª whither¹¹ they went,ª° they profanedª°¹ my holyª name,ª when they saidª° to them, These¹ [are] the peopleª of the LORD,ª and are gone forthª° out of his land.ª¹" {Ezk 36:17-20}
