Charles Spurgeon Commentary Jeremiah 8:4

"Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return?" — Jeremiah 8:4 (ASV)

Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?

The old proverb says, "It is a long lane that has no turning." So the Lord seems to ask, "Will these men always go on in sin? Will they always turn away from me? They change from bad to worse; will they never change from worse to better?"
