2.

Sanhedrin 105a (according to Ben Yehoyada): Zecharyah replied, when the punishments prophesized for your fathers came true, they repented and admitted that they were worthy of it, so they have a share in the world to come. You do not repent! "Va'Yashuvu va'Yomru..." - they admitted that Zecharyah was right.

3.

Malbim: You do not need a Navi to predict what will come for your sins. They already came, and still exist! You were not yet redeemed from Koresh's Reshus. You recognize His Hashgachah and punishment, and You saw that He has the ability to punish sinners.

What do we learn from "ki'Dracheinu uch'Ma'alaleinu Ken Asah Lanu"?
