22  And if you say in your heart,

oWhy have these things come upon me?

it is for the greatness of your iniquity

that pyour skirts are lifted up

and you suffer violence.


Jeremiah 16:10–11

10 And when you tell this people all these words, and they say to you, tWhy has the Lord pronounced all this great evil against us? What is our iniquity? What is the sin that we have committed against the Lord our God? 11 then you shall say to them: uBecause your fathers have forsaken me, declares the Lord, and vhave gone after other gods and have served and worshiped them, and have forsaken me and have not kept my law,


Jeremiah 22:8–9

24 all the nations cwill say, dWhy has the Lord done thus to this land? What caused the heat of this great anger? 25 Then people will say, It is because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt,

Therefore the Lord has brought all this disaster on them.
