Chapter 4 presents the
oppression of the poor, and the worship which the
children of Israel rendered at will in the places they
had chosen. God also would act as He saw fit. He had
indeed already done so; nevertheless they had not
returned unto Him. He had repeated His chastisements in
the most significant manner, but in vain. Therefore He
calls on Israel to prepare to meet Himself.

Chapter 4 presents the oppression of the poor, and the worship which the children of Israel rendered at will in the places they had chosen. God also would act as He saw fit. He had indeed already done so; nevertheless they had not returned unto Him. He had repeated His chastisements in the most significant manner, but in vain. Therefore He calls on Israel to prepare to meet Himself.
