Jeremias 8:5 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 8:5

Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a
perpetual backsliding?
&c.] These people fill into sin, and rise not again by repentance; they turn out of the good ways of God and religion, and return not again; they backslide and revolt from the Lord, and they continue in their revolt and rebellion; their backsliding is an everlasting one; there is no hope of their repentance and recovery: it is a vehement and passionate expostulation about the people of the Jews, founded upon the former general observation, showing them to be the worst of all people: it is a common saying, "it is a long lane that has no turning"; but these people, having departed from the Lord, return no more. A very learned man renders the words, "why does Jerusalem turn away this people with an obstinate aversion?" F2 that is, the rulers and governors of Jerusalem, as in ( Matthew 23:37 ) or rather thus, "why does a stubborn aversion turn away this people, O Jerusalem?" and so they are an address to the magistrates and inhabitants of Jerusalem. They hold fast deceit;
practise it, and continue in the practice of it, both with God and man: they refuse to return:
to the Lord, to his worship, and to the right ways of holiness and truth, from whence they had erred; see ( Jeremiah 5:3 ) .

Jeremias 8:5 In-Context

3 Todos os sobreviventes dessa nação má preferirão a morte à vida, em todos os lugares para onde eu os expulsar”, diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos.
4 “Diga a eles: Assim diz o SENHOR:“Quando os homens caem, não se levantam mais?Quando alguém se desvia do caminho, não retorna a ele?
5 Por que será, então, que este povo se desviou?Por que Jerusalém persiste em desviar-se?Eles apegam-se ao enganoe recusam-se a voltar.
6 Eu ouvi com atenção,mas eles não dizem o que é certo.Ninguém se arrepende de sua maldadee diz: ‘O que foi que eu fiz?’Cada um se desvia e segue seu próprio curso,como um cavalo que se lança com ímpeto na batalha.
7 Até a cegonha no céuconhece as estações que lhe estão determinadas,e a pomba, a andorinha e o tordoobservam a época de sua migração.Mas o meu povo não conheceas exigências do SENHOR.
