“Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,”
The therefore that announces judgment shows that the logical connection between rejection and destruction is complete. God will send for all the families of the north and the king of Babylon to devastate the land. The identification of Babylon as the instrument of God's judgment shows that Babylon's military activity serves God's purposes. The prophecy announces that Babylon's dominance is not mere historical accident but divine appointment.
