You can really see the hurt and fury and passionate love of God.
If this were a scene played out in a movie between a man and a woman, it would be very dramatic.
Let's take a glimpse into the beating heart of Love:
--"But you have forsaken me and served other gods, so I will no longer save you. Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you when you are in trouble!"
--Then they got rid of the foreign gods among them and served the LORD. And he could bear Israel's misery no longer.
The human race likes to choose its gods, but God is the only god who chose the human race.
The whole time Israel was oppressed, God bore their misery on his own shoulders. His heart was heavy with the weight of their misery, but it was what they had chosen. Israel chose other gods even though God had given them so much and done so much for them so that they would choose him.
