“Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.”
Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations and a mockery to all the countries around you, because your wickedness is apparent and your shame is evident. Jerusalem's judgment transforms it into an object of international scorn and derision. The visibility of sin and shame establishes that Jerusalem's fall will demonstrate to all nations the reality of divine judgment upon unfaithfulness.
