“She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the Lord; she drew not near to her God.”
She listens to no voice; she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the LORD; she does not draw near to her God—the fourfold indictment catalogs Jerusalem's fundamental posture toward God: refusal to hear, refusal to be corrected, distrust, and distance. These spiritual attitudes toward God underlie all the behavioral sins. The verse establishes that Jerusalem's problem is fundamentally relational, not merely behavioral.
