because of all the evil
The phrase "because of all the evil" underscores the comprehensive nature of the wrongdoing committed by the people. The Hebrew word for "evil" here is "רָעָה" (ra'ah), which conveys not just moral wickedness but also the resulting calamity and distress. This highlights the gravity of their actions, which are not isolated incidents but a pervasive pattern of behavior that has led to severe consequences.

the Israelites and Judeans
This phrase identifies both the northern kingdom (Israelites) and the southern kingdom (Judeans), indicating that the sinfulness was widespread across the entire nation. Historically, after the division of the united monarchy, both kingdoms fell into idolatry and disobedience. This collective mention serves as a reminder of the unity in their shared guilt and the need for national repentance.

have done to provoke Me to anger
The phrase "have done to provoke Me to anger" uses the Hebrew verb "כָּעַס" (ka'as), meaning to provoke or irritate. This anthropomorphic expression illustrates God's righteous indignation towards sin. It is not a capricious anger but a response to the covenantal unfaithfulness of His people, emphasizing the seriousness of their rebellion against His holiness and justice.

they, their kings and officials
Here, the verse highlights the leadership's role in the nation's sin. The kings and officials, who were supposed to guide the people in righteousness, instead led them astray. This reflects a failure of leadership and the importance of godly governance. Historically, many kings of Israel and Judah, such as Manasseh and Ahab, are noted for their idolatry and wickedness, which had a profound impact on the spiritual state of the nation.

their priests and prophets
The inclusion of "their priests and prophets" indicates the corruption of religious leaders who were meant to be the spiritual guides of the people. Instead of upholding God's law, many became complicit in the nation's sin. This echoes the broader biblical theme of false prophets and corrupt priests who mislead the people, as seen in other prophetic books like Ezekiel and Hosea.

the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem
This phrase brings the focus to the general populace, emphasizing that the sin was not limited to the leaders but was pervasive among the people. "The men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem" signifies the heart of the nation, both geographically and spiritually. Jerusalem, as the city of God, was meant to be a beacon of faithfulness, yet it became a center of idolatry and rebellion, highlighting the depth of the nation's fall from grace.
