The warning still goes unheard

23Who among you will listen to this, will pay attention and hear hereafter?

24Who gave Jacob over to plunder, and Israel to looters? Was it not Yahweh, he against whom we have sinned? They were not willing to walk in his ways, and they did not listen to his law.

25So he poured out on him the heat of his anger and the might of battle; it set him ablaze all around, but he did not know; it burned in him, but he did not take it to heart.
