I think it's God's pain in his heart, a cry from his soul.

This passage…I believe it represents God’s heartache, His cry…😰
How long will you remain uncleaned…😥
…“O Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, you who slaughter the prophets and stone those sent to you! How many times have I tried to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings! Yet you were unwilling.”
…The people of Israel, given countless chances to repent, yet refusing the invitation…
…I believe it’s the same even today.
People who come to church…but don’t repent…
…I’ve heard the word “repentance” so many times in sermons.
…Repentance…can lead to eternal life❗️.
…Repentance purifies us.
…Repentance means turning our lives towards God.

The end result for an unrepentant soul is... destruction.

...God desperately wants you to live.

Shalom 😄
