Oh...people who never learn...doing the same things over and over again, yet expecting different results. The people of Judah just got over run because of their idolatry and disobedience. Instead of returning to the LORD, they pursue an old idol - the Queen of the Universe (incidentally a Roman Catholic name for Mary, mother of Jesus, who they worship). In addition, their wickedness continues. Of course, God gives them the grace to choose life in the land or death in Egypt. Disbelieving, they chose to go to Egypt, where they will be killed by the sword as promised by God.
When disciplined by God, we need to adjust to God's will to avoid further discipline. We need to learn to repent when chastised - not just continue to sin. I see too many people who never learn - to their own destruction and to those around them.
