“For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;”
King Zedekiah had imprisoned Jeremiah 'because he said, Why do you prophesy.' The king's refusal to acknowledge God's word precipitated imprisonment. This demonstrates the tragic resistance of leadership to divine truth.
