Yet the LORD warned Israel and Judah through all His prophets and every seer, saying, "Turn from your evil ways and keep My commandments, My statutes according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which i sent to you through My servants the prophets."Israel has fallen to the Assyrians. The inheritance of Abraham has been taken. Judah is deteriorating, and doesn't have that much longer to exist. All of this has happened because the people rejected God and His promises. They turned from him, and He has now fulfilled the promised curses that He warned them of when He first gave them the Law.
However, He didn't just let them go without any reminders of the consequences. He sent many prophets to them, to tell them what was going to happen, and how they could prevent it. He did this for decades and centuries, and sometimes they listened. But it never lasted, and they would eventually ignore them altogether. At that point, God acted, and Israel paid the price for its disobedience.
