God is telling them that just because they are his chosen people doesn't mean that they are released from punishment if they have done wrong. He tells them that he has given them multiple chances to redeem themselves and caused them quite a bit of pain and they still haven't asked for forgiveness or salvation, so he is going to destroy them and rebuild.
Bless the Lord O my soul, worship His holy name. That song comes into my head when I read this one. The Lord is so merciful and forgiving but only if we accept that mercy and ask for that forgiveness.

God does speak of the fact that he has done so many things to his people and yet they still have not turned back to him. He has given them so many chances and tried to turn their focus, yet they still sin and turn away. No matter what he is still trying to get their attention.
I was hearing the same song as I read this. It played over and over in my mind.
