Why

Psalm 119:60

I hurried and did not delay
To keep Your commandments.
Jeremiah 8:14

Why are we sitting still [the people wonder]?
Assemble yourselves, and let us enter the fortified cities
And let us die there,
For the Lord our God has decreed our ruin
And given us bitter and poisonous water to drink,
Because we have sinned against the Lord.
