 Because she has been rebellious against me, saith the Lord. These things happen in our rebellion. That's what's happening. We're getting a response from the Lord because of the rebellion of the people that claim to be his. He's not going to tolerate it. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. That means you better practice what you preach. Not because you have to, but out of gratitude you do so. And you live unto him who died for us, 2 Corinthians 5.15.
