Zedekiah wants to know the truth from God - he appreciates and fears the ministry of Jeremiah - yet he doesn't listen. Herod did the same with John the Baptist - Herod knew John to be righteous and holy and liked to listen to him, but he did not heed John's godly advice. Why is it that we can be all around the truth, but not want to abide in it.
I believe all men are like this due to our sin nature. it is only through the ministry of the Holy Spirit that we can change - after we have been regenerated. I believe that Paul walks us through this in I Corinthians 2. Pray to receive Christ as Savior and receive the Holy Spirit - that's the only cure.
