The result of no faith in G-d

In Perakim 2,3 and 5 we learn how immoral the nation had become. Perek 2 starts of saying that if the nation were to repent we would have an ideal world with no wars and everyone would accept G-d. Then the Perek continues highlighting Bnei Yisrael's sins. It tells us that that they were not seeking control over their own lives-they were not recognizing Hashem. The leader of the nation is disobeying the rules set aside for the king of Israel-the king has become corrupt. The people have become haughty and have completely forgotten Hashem. The main theme of Perke 2 is the contrast between the idea that the generation had the idea that they were in control and the reality that Hashem is in control.
       
In Perek 3 it highlights the leaders and the women of Bnei Yisrael. Hashem tells the people that unskilled people will become their leaders and women will rule as the leasers of the government. The perek tells us that the women of Bnei Yisrael had become so haughty. They would walk around with their head held high as if to show off themselves and to get everyone to look at them. They had outstretched necks to show that they were looking down at everyone and thye thought they were better than everyone else. They wouldn't wear modest clothing and they would wear bells on their feet so everyone could know when they were coming and they would wear much perfume, and they covered their face with make-up. Hashem punished them with a midah kneged midah-for the perfume they wore, they decayed, for their immodest clothing they had wounds, and in place of their actions they got woulds that caused them to be bald. In the end of 3 and the beginning of 4 Hashem declares one last thing-all the men will die in war and Israel will be in mourning.

Perek 5 highlights Yishayahu. The people of Bnei Yisrael were so obsessed with pleasuring themselves that they failed to recognize that G-d was the source of all of their pleasure. Yishayahu tries to tell Bnei Yisrael to change their ways bu they tell him off that they don't believe anything will happen and they are not going to change their ways. Bnei Yisrael has skewed values. Yishayahu again tries to tell them to change, but they still won't  change their ways.  The leaders are criticized. The leaders could have used their power for good but they chose not to and they use it for evil. The judges could have also used their power for good but they also chose not to and used it for evil. The punishment for this is that their land will be destroyed. In the end of perek 5 Hashem will be angry with the people and he will punish them by using their foreign enemies to smite the nation. Hashem will cause another nation to come and destroy Israel and no one will be able to save them.

I think learning these pesukim at this time is perfect with Rosh Hashana beginning tonight. Rosh Hashana to Yom Kippur is the main time for us to repent for all the sins we had done this past year. If Bnei Yisrael had take time out of their day to repent for all the sins that they had done, the world may have been so different today and so much more unified than it is now. A chance for Hashem to clean it your slate is such a great chance that a person should take because we have seen what happens when our nation does not ask Hashem for forgiveness. This time of the year is a time where we have a chance to rekindle our unity as a nation and for the world to truly become and ideal world.
