“So the Lord
Carried out
The threat
He spoke
Against us,
Against our judges
Who ruled Israel,
Against our kings
Against our rulers,
Against the people of Israel,
Against the people of Judah.
Under the whole heaven,
There has not been done
Like what
He has done
In Jerusalem,
In accordance
With the threats
That were written
In the law of Moses.”
The Lord actually did what he threatened to do to us. He carried out his threats against all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, including the judges, the kings, and the rulers. Something like this had never been done before. However, he was only following the threats that were written in the Law of Moses so that it should not have been a surprise.
