This passage is very clear that the people will not be able to fix what God is breaking. The issue is, why is God breaking it? The answer can be found in the words “You have made this a foreign place.” The lives of the people had so changed the world they live in that what meant one thing now means, as it were, something else. The word gay in our world today is a literary example. At one time, it meant happy; now in the West, it usually means homosexuality. There are denominations that I would say if the founder of them came in today, they wouldn’t recognize them; they would call them foreign. God is saying this place, Jerusalem, isn’t now what it was supposed to be. The good news is that God can say the foreigner and the foreign (those away from God) if we are we will let Him.
