But did not My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, overtake your fathers? Then they repented and said, 'As the LORD of hosts purposed to do to us in accordance with our ways and our deeds, so He has dealt with us.'"'"God does not issue empty promises. He may not be as quick to come down on sinners as some think He should, but He does fulfill His promises to them. And for those Israelites, they were feeling the wrath of His promises for their misbehavior.
However, they realized what they'd done. Maybe they had to be prompted, but they did accept that they had brought it on themselves. So they cried out to God, and presumably changed their ways going forward.
