Though God is going to use the Babylonians to bring the Israelites back to Him, he’s not letting the Babylonians off the hook. In our passage today, we learn about the sin they engaged in but also their destruction. Ultimately, God sees the Babylonians and the Israelites as similar people, when they should be different and separate. What does a Godly life look like?

• Just because you can, doesn’t mean that you should.
• Godly people aren't intentionally intimidating.
• Godly people don't intentionally harm others for their own security.
• Godly people don't build empires off the blood, sweat, and tears of others.
• Godly people don't objectify people for their pleasure.
• Godly people don't worship their self-made idols.
