Then He said to me, "The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is filled with blood and the city is full of perversion; for they say, "The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD does not see!Here God gives His reason for what has happened and is about to occur in Jerusalem. The people have turned away from God, and instead trusted in idols. They feel that God has abandoned them, so why shouldn't they look for alternatives?
However are they seeing the cause, or the effect? They say God abandoned them, but they abandoned God first. They decided that He wasn't worth worshiping, so He is letting them feel the consequences of their decision.
