A Lament For Disobedient Judah
27 Then the Lord said to me, "When you tell them all this, they will not listen to you. When you call out to them, they will not respond to you. 28 So tell them: 'This is a nation that has not obeyed the Lord their God and has not accepted correction. Faithfulness is nowhere to be found in it. These people do not even profess it anymore. 29 So, mourn, you people of this nation. Cut off your hair and throw it away. Sing a song of mourning on the hilltops. For the Lord has decided to reject and forsake this generation that has provoked his wrath!'"
