The reason for destruction: 'The LORD said, "It is because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them; they have not followed it or obeyed me."' This verse provides the answer: the land is destroyed 'because they have forsaken my law.' The emphasis on rejection of the law (which was 'set before them') indicates deliberate disobedience. Theologically, this verse establishes that the destruction is not arbitrary but is the direct consequence of covenant violation.
