Israel and Judah defiled and polluted the land through wickedness. In the last days, the Lord will gather the people of Israel, one from a city and two from a family, and bring them to Zion. Israel and Judah are called to repentance. Jeremiah laments for the miseries of Judah. Judgments will be poured out upon the people of Judah because of their sins. Their iniquities cause blessings to be withheld from them. Jerusalem will be destroyed because of her iniquity. She will be overrun by a great and cruel nation. If the people of Judah repent, they will be preserved. The temple has become a den of robbers. The Lord rejects that generation of the people of Judah for their idolatries. They offer their children as sacrifices.
