The summary: 'This is the summary of judgment announced throughout chapter 6: the people have rejected the covenant, refused the prophetic word, embraced injustice and false prophecy, and have become like base metal unfit for use. Judgment is imminent and comprehensive; the siege approaches; there is no escape.' Theologically, this verse concludes chapter 6 with a summation: all the elements of judgment (military, social, spiritual) converge, and the moment of execution has arrived.
