Imagine you have a favorite toy, and you keep breaking it even though your mom and dad tell you not to. One day, they say, 'We can't keep giving you this toy if you keep breaking it.' That's a bit like what God is saying to Jerusalem here. He's so sad that he wants them to show their sadness too by cutting their hair and crying.
