“Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.”
Nevertheless, he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry. Despite repeated cycles of rebellion and judgment, God remains responsive to Israel's distress and petition. The verb 'regarded' suggests sympathetic attention, as God hears and attends to his people's desperate cry. This verse indicates that God's compassion persists even after repeated covenant-breaking.
