Jeremiah 8:4

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Moreover, thou shalt say unto them,.... The Jews, in Jeremiah's time, in order to leave them inexcusable, though the Lord had before assured that they would not hearken to him, Jer 7:27:thus saith the Lord, shall they fall, and not rise?

men, when they fall, endeavour to get up again, and generally they do:shall he turn away, and not return? when a man turns out of the right way into a wrong one, as soon as he is sensible of his mistake, he returns back; this is usually done among men.
