Pride Fuels Disobedience
Commentators like Matthew Henry and John Calvin identify pride as the root of the leaders' rebellion. Instead of humbly submitting to God's revealed will through Jeremiah, they preferred their own wisdom and plans. This serves as a timeless warning that pride often leads people to reject God's guidance in favor of their own flawed strategies, ultimately leading to ruin.
