Contextual Overview
4“You are to say to them: This is what the Lord says: 5Why have these people turned away?Why is Jerusalem always turning away?They take hold of deceit;they refuse to return. 6I have paid careful attention.They do not speak what is right.No one regrets his evil,asking, ‘What have I done?’Everyone has stayed his courselike a horse rushing into battle. 7Even storks in the skyknow their seasons.Turtledoves, swallows, and cranesare aware of their migration,but my people do not knowthe requirements of the Lord. 8“How can you claim, ‘We are wise;the law of the Lord is with us’?In fact, the lying pen of scribeshas produced falsehood. 9The wise will be put to shame;they will be dismayed and snared.They have rejected the word of the Lord,so what wisdom do they really have? 10Therefore, I will give their wives to other men,their fields to new occupants,for from the least to the greatest,everyone is making profit dishonestly.From prophet to priest,everyone deals falsely. 11They have treated the brokennessof my dear people superficially,claiming, ‘Peace, peace,’when there is no peace. 12Were they ashamed when they acted so detestably?They weren’t at all ashamed.They can no longer feel humiliation.Therefore, they will fall among the fallen.When I punish them, they will collapse,”says the Lord.
