They provoke

“Have you not done this to yourself
By your forsaking the Lord your God
When He led you in the way?

“They made Him jealous with strange gods;

With abominations they provoked Him to anger.

“But if you refuse and rebel,
You will be devoured by the sword.”
Truly, the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

He said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? Is it too light a thing for the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they have committed here, that they have filled the land with violence and provoked Me repeatedly? For behold, they are putting the twig to their nose.

Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we?

The confusion

But the Lord is with me like a dread champion;
Therefore my persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
They will be utterly ashamed, because they have failed,
With an everlasting disgrace that will not be forgotten.

Since the days of our fathers to this day we have been in great guilt, and on account of our iniquities we, our kings and our priests have been given into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity and to plunder and to

open shame, as it is this day.

They will be put to shame and even humiliated, all of them;
The manufacturers of idols will go away together in humiliation.

“Righteousness belongs to You, O Lord, but to us

open shame, as it is this day—to the men of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those who are nearby and those who are far away in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of their unfaithful deeds which they have committed against You.
