Contextual Overview
4 Moreover you shall say to them, Thus says Yahweh: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return? 5 Why then has this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return. 6 I listened and heard, but they did not speak aright: no man repents of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turns to his race, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle. 7 Yes, the stork in the heavens knows her appointed times; and the turtle-dove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people don't know the law of Yahweh. 8 How do you say, We are wise, and the law of Yahweh is with us? But, look, the false pen of the scribes has wrought falsely. 9 The wise men are put to shame, they are dismayed and taken: look, they have rejected the word of Yahweh; and what manner of wisdom is in them? 10 Therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those that shall possess them: for every one from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely. 11 And they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. 12 They were ashamed when they did these disgusting things. But, they did not feel ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among those that fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says Yahweh.
