Contextual Overview
4 "Say to the people of Judah: ‘This is what the Lord says: When people fall down, don't they get up again? And when someone goes the wrong way, doesn't he turn back? 5 Why, then, have the people of Jerusalem gone the wrong way and not turned back? They believe their own lies and refuse to turn around and come back. 6 I have listened to them very carefully, but they do not say what is right. They do not feel sorry about their wicked ways, saying, "What have I done?" Each person goes his own way, like a horse charging into a battle. 7 Even the birds in the sky know the right times to do things. The storks, doves, swifts, and thrushes know when it is time to migrate. But my people don't know what the Lord wants them to do. 8 "‘You keep saying, "We are wise, because we have the teachings of the Lord ." But actually, those who explain the Scriptures have written lies with their pens. 9 These wise teachers refused to listen to the word of the Lord , so they are not really wise at all. They will be ashamed. They will be shocked and trapped. 10 So I will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners. Everyone, from the least important to the greatest, is greedy for money. Even the prophets and priests all tell lies. 11 They tried to heal my people's serious injuries as if they were small wounds. They said, "It's all right, it's all right." But really, it is not all right. 12 They should be ashamed of the terrible way they act, but they are not ashamed at all. They don't even know how to blush about their sins. So they will fall, along with everyone else. They will be thrown to the ground when I punish them, says the Lord .
