Çocuklar için açıklama

Imagine you forgot how your parents took care of you when you were little and started complaining a lot. Your parents might then say, 'We took care of you when you were small, but you've been ungrateful and annoying. Now, we'll treat you the way you've treated us.' That's kind of what God is saying to Jerusalem.
