They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.
Even now, they still haven't learned their lesson. They're not humbled, they don't respect me, and they're completely ignoring the guidelines I gave you and your ancestors to live by.
Some people never learn, they keep ignoring God's way even after everything falls apart.
📚 Historical Context
During the time of the prophet Jeremiah in the 6th century BC, the people of Judah were enduring the fallout of their persistent idolatry and rebellion against God's commands, which had led to the Babylonian exile. Despite experiencing God's judgments and warnings through Jeremiah, they refused to humble themselves or return to obedience. This verse specifically addresses the Jewish remnant who had fled to Egypt, emphasizing their continued defiance of the covenant God established with their ancestors.
