Jeremiah 6:15

These leaders did not even feel ashamed or embarrassed by their actions; they were completely insensitive to their sins (cf. 1 Samuel 15:22-23). Consequently they would fall along with the rest of the population when the Lord brought judgment.

"When evil is pursued and practiced regularly and devotedly, it produces eventually a moral blindness in the perpetrator." [Note: Craigie, p. 104.]
