God declares a lasting covenant of peace with His people that will be their blessing in His kingdom. He invites all to join His kingdom, no restrictions are set for admission - only submission to Him and His rule. Even those not of the nation of Israel are invited to enter.
Israel, however, seemed satisfied with false idols. Their idolatrous practices and rituals only invited God's anger and punishment; it did not bring the peace and satisfaction that was anticipated. God would heal and restore those who returned from their idolatry; but would consume those who refused His correction
