The distress and captivity of Israel for their sins.Even if they raise their children This phrase highlights the futility of the Israelites' efforts to secure their future through their offspring. In the Hebrew context, children were seen as a blessing and a means of continuing one's legacy. The Hebrew word for "raise" (גָּדַל, gadal) implies nurturing and bringing up to maturity.

This serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of turning away from God, emphasizing that human efforts are insufficient without divine favor.
