unbelievable. if you thought it was hard for Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, well, this isn't that hard, but it's really really hard! To go to your king and tell him that he's going to lose. Flat out.
at least Jeremiah got to predict a peaceful death for Zedekiah, though.
then there's this slavery controversy! How, in the face of immanent slaughter, could a person let free and then recapture their slaves? these are the leaders of the City. These are the top dawgs of the country.
Can you see what a scandalous lot were running things before the nation got judged? Today's Psalms have a line that goes: "The wicked prowl on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men" --Ps. 12:8
These people were really prowling, and they had been worshipping the sex and death gods on the side for years! False religion. sex and death. false gods adn idols. sex and death... they forgot how to blush! they were experts in sin! and they had NO integrity, even when they agreed with a (relatively) righteous king, they went back on it! astounding!
