This past week, we learned (in Perek Daled) that G-d was very angry and then explains the rational explanation for the anger. It says the sins of the prophets and priests caused the people to sin. The mothers became cruel and immoral. They people who were used to living in wealth are now living in poverty. There is a glimmer of hope.
We then compared Perek Daled with Perek Bet. They both talk about the pain of the children and how they are being eaten by their mothers. This is because of the poverty which they also both discuss. In Perek Bet, it says that this is because of G-d, whose anger is unjust and irrational. In Perek Daled, it says that it is because of the people's sins so the anger was justified.
