What is bad? To Israel, losing Jerusalem was the greatest evil. Submission to a conquering tyrant was evil, but the truth was it wasn’t. It was the only cure. Israel had a sin problem, and God knew at this point the only cure was the loss of their freedom and autonomy. It was like the doctor saying we have to amputate. Unfortunately, Israel was like some patients, “I would rather die.”
