God destroyed his people’s homes and had evil nations take them as slaves. But not without warning after warning. He is a God of many warnings. He also will say, “Enough is enough!” Yet if you go to God and acknowledge your sin, he is faithful to forgive and bless you.
Jeremiah 18:7-11 (TLB) 7 Whenever I announce that a certain nation or kingdom is to be taken up and destroyed, 8 then if that nation renounces its evil ways, I will not destroy it as I had planned. 9 And if I announce that I will make a certain nation strong and great, 10 but then that nation changes its mind, turns to evil, and refuses to obey me, then I, too, will change my mind and not bless that nation as I had said I would. 11 Therefore, go and warn all Judah and Jerusalem, saying: Hear the word of the Lord. I am planning evil against you now instead of good; turn back from your evil paths and do what is right.
