6 You have been sold to the nations, not into destruction, but because of this, in resentment, you provoked God to wrath, and so you have been delivered to adversity.
7 For you have exasperated him who made you, the eternal God, by sacrificing to evil spirits, and not to God.
8 For you have forgotten God, who nurtured you, and you have saddened Jerusalem, your nurse.
9 For she saw the wrath of God approaching you, and she said, "Listen, region of Zion, for God has brought upon me great sorrow.
10 For I have seen the captivity of my people, my sons and daughters, which the Eternal has led over them.
11 For I nurtured them with joy, but I sent them away with weeping and sorrow.
12 Let no one rejoice over me, a widow and a desolation, for I am forsaken by many because of the sins of my sons, because they strayed from the law of God.
