Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
So God saw all the wrong we were doing and let the consequences hit us. And honestly? He was completely fair about it, God always does what's right. We just didn't listen when he tried to guide us.
God's not harsh, he's just honest about letting us face what we've chosen.
