 See, and the sword shall slash in the cities, devour his districts, and consume them because of their own counsels. Sounds like they're listening to their own people and not God. I think you're exactly right. That's exactly what they're doing. They're listening to their own desires. They are committed to their plans, their purposes, their programs, and they're not interested in what God's up to and what He wants to do. God has a plan for Judah.
