MAURER translates, "They shall be put to shame, for they commit abomination; nay (the prophet correcting himself), there is no shame in them" (Jeremiah 3:3; Jeremiah 8:12; Ezekiel 3:7; Zephaniah 3:5). them that fall—They shall fall with the rest of their people who are doomed to fall, that is, I will now... read more

Yahweh’s declaration of divine judgment 4:5-6:30The Judahites-having sinned greatly (ch. 2)-failed to repent (Jeremiah 3:1 to Jeremiah 4:4).

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 6:15
These leaders did not even feel ashamed or embarrassed by their actions; they were completely insensitive to their sins (cf. 1 Samuel 15:22-23). Consequently they would fall along with the rest of the population when the Lord brought judgment."When evil is pursued and practiced regularly and devotedly, it produces eventually a moral blindness in the perpetrator."

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 6:15
(15) Were they ashamed . . .?—The Hebrew gives an assertion, not a question—They are brought to shame (as in Jeremiah 2:26), because they have committed abominations. And yet, the prophet adds, “they were not ashamed” (the verb is in a different voice). There was no inward feeling of shame even when they were covered with ignominy and confusion. They had lost the power to blush, and were callous and insensible. This was then, as always, the most hopeless of all states. To “fall among them that... read more

Old Paths (Thoughts for the New Year) Jeremiah 6:16 'Ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.'

It is what you most want rest. So many people deviate from the old paths and try to get rest. Just look round about and see the number of religions there are... read more
