Contextual Overview
4"You shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh,"Do men fall and not get up again?Does one turn away and not turn back? 5Why then has this people, Jerusalem,Turned away in continual faithlessness?They hold fast to deceit;They refuse to return. 6I have given heed and heard,They have spoken what is not right;No man regretted his evil,Saying, ‘What have I done?'Everyone turned to his course,Like a horse charging into the battle. 7Even the stork in the skyKnows her seasons;And the turtledove and the swift and the craneKeep the time of their migration;But My people do not knowThe legal judgment of Yahweh. 8"How can you say, ‘We are wise,And the law of Yahweh is with us'?But behold, the lying pen of the scribesHas made it into a lie. 9The wise men are put to shame;They are dismayed and captured;Behold, they have rejected the word of Yahweh,And what kind of wisdom do they have? 10Therefore I will give their wives to others,Their fields to new possessors,Because from the least even to the greatestEveryone is greedy for gain;From the prophet even to the priestEveryone practices lying. 11They heal the brokenness of the daughter of My people superficially,Saying, ‘Peace, peace,'But there is no peace. 12Were they ashamed because of the abomination they had done?They certainly were not ashamed,And they did not know how to feel dishonor;Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;At the time of their punishment they shall be brought down,"Says Yahweh.
