22:6-12 These charges against the people of Judah and their leaders were all drawn from God’s law, especially from Lev 18–20; 25:1-55. Israel’s many sins represented a wider failure to honor and trust the Lord and his commands. Such unfaithfulness to their covenant with the Lord could have only one result: The people of Israel would experience the covenant curses (Deut 8:19-20; 28:15-68).
