Commentary on Jeremiah 8:4

Theological / Devotional

Fall, and not arise. The absurdity of the obstinate persistency of Jerusalem’s inhabitants in perverse ways is shown by a contrast with what men ordinarily do. Does a man who slips and falls prostrate lie where he falls without making any attempt to get up?

Turn away, and not return. Is it not also a natural instinct for one who has wandered from the right path to return to it?
