So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

The LORD just couldn't take it anymore — all the terrible things you kept doing, all the disgusting stuff you committed to. That's why your land is completely destroyed now, left empty and cursed, with nobody living there. Just look around — that's exactly what happened.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God has limits, and when we cross them repeatedly, the consequences are real and devastating.
