- Why:
- "Even all¹ nationsª shall say,ª° Wherefore¹¹ hath the LORDª doneª° thus¹ unto this¹ land?ª what¹ [meaneth] the heatª of this¹ greatª anger?ª ... And the LORDª rooted²° them out¹ of¹¹ their landª in anger,ª and in wrath,ª and in greatª indignation,ª and castª° them into¹ anotherª land,ª as [it is] this¹ day.ª" {Deu 29:24-28} + "And at this¹ house,ª [which] is¹ high,ª every one¹ that passethª° by¹ it shall be astonished,ª° and shall hiss;ª° and they shall say,ª° Why¹ hath the LORDª doneª° thus¹ unto this¹ land,ª and to this¹ house?ª ... And they shall answer,ª° Because¹¹ they forsookª°¹ the LORDª their God,ª who¹ brought forthª°¹ their fathersª out of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª and have taken holdª° upon otherª gods,ª and have worshippedª° them, and servedª° them: therefore¹¹ hath the LORDª broughtª° upon¹ them¹ all¹ this¹ evil.ª" {1Kg 9:8-9} + "And it shall come to pass,¹ when¹ ye shall say,ª° Whereforeªª doethª° the LORDª our Godª¹ all¹ these¹ [things] unto us? then shalt thou answerª°¹ them, Like¹ as ye have forsakenª° me, and servedª° strangeª godsª in your land,ª so¹ shall ye serveª° strangersª° in a landª [that is] not¹ yours." {Jer 5:19} + "And if¹ thou sayª° in thine heart,ª Wherefore¹ comeª° these things¹ upon me? For the greatnessª of thine iniquityª are thy skirtsª discovered,ª° [and] thy heelsª made bare.ª°" {Jer 13:22} + "And it shall come to pass,¹ when¹ thou shalt shewª° this¹ peopleª¹ all¹ these¹ words,ª and they shall sayª° unto¹ thee, Wherefore¹¹ hath the LORDª pronouncedª°¹ all¹ this¹ greatª evilª against¹ us? or what¹ [is] our iniquity?ª or what¹ [is] our sinª that¹ we have committedª° against the LORDª our God?ª ... And ye¹ have doneª° worseª° than your fathers;ª¹ for, behold,ª ye walkª° every oneª afterª the imaginationª of his evilª heart,ª that they may not¹ hearkenª° unto¹ me:" {Jer 16:10-12} + "And manyª nationsª shall passª° by¹ this¹ city,ª and they shall sayª° every manª to¹ his neighbour,ª Wherefore¹¹ hath the LORDª doneª° thus¹ unto this¹ greatª city?ª ... Then they shall answer,ª° Because¹¹ they have forsakenª°¹ the covenantª of the LORDª their God,ª and worshippedª° otherª gods,ª and servedª° them." {Jer 22:8-9} + "[Is] this¹ manª Coniahª a despisedª° brokenª° idol?ª [is he] a vesselª wherein [is] no¹ pleasure?ª wherefore¹ are they cast out,²°¹ he¹ and his seed,ª and are cast²°¹ into¹ a landª which¹ they knowª° not?¹" {Jer 22:28}
