The people of Judah were confronted by Yahweh because they were faithless to one another, to him, and to their wives. What is the antidote for faithlessness by God's people- It is to remember the nature of our God- he is unswervingly faithful. Likewise Christ was totally faithful to his Father in the mission to redeem the elect. And the apostles were devoted to faithfulness to Christ - most of whom died as martyrs in their glad devotion to their Savior. Self-denying faithfulness is the way of joy in the Christian life - nothing less will do.
