Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain; This great evil against your souls - Will not self-interest weigh with you?

And you are now taking the same way to your own destruction.
