Impenitence: Zedekiah

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke for the LORD.

He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. But Zedekiah stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.

But he and his officers and the people of the land refused to obey the words that the LORD had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet.
