In Jeremiah 8 the fact that the people do not repent is central. The emphasis is on the fact that this is incomprehensible. Why do the people act like this? Jeremiah uses an image to illustrate this: if you fall, you get up again. This is normal. If you take a wrong way, you return. Everyone understands this. But these people simply refuse to get up or to return. In other words, they have no repentance. The Lord cannot understand this. They had everything with him!
1 En ce temps-là, dit l'Eternel, on tirera de leurs sépulcres les os des rois de Juda, les os de ses chefs, les os des sacrificateurs, les os des prophètes, et les os des habitants de Jérusalem.
