And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
Because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them - (Deuteronomy 31:17, "I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us because our God is not among us?" Isaiah 59:2, "Your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear").
