I. Represented by a sign, the cutting, and burning, and scattering of hair (v. 1-4).
II. That sign is expounded, and applied to Jerusalem.
1. Sin is charged upon Jerusalem as the cause of this desolation-contempt of God's law (v. 5-7) and profanation of his sanctuary (v. 11).
2. Wrath is threatened, great wrath (v. 8-10), a variety of miseries (v. 12, 16, 17), such as should be their reproach and ruin (v. 13-15).
