Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
Were they ashamed when they did disgusting things? No, they weren't ashamed at all - they couldn't even feel embarrassed about it. So they will fall along with everyone else who falls. When their day of judgment comes, they will be brought down, says the LORD.
God is saying that people who do terrible things without any shame or remorse will face consequences when judgment comes.
📚 Historical Context
Jeremiah was prophesying to the people of Judah before the Babylonian exile (around 600-586 BC). The nation had turned away from God, engaging in idol worship and moral corruption while feeling no guilt about it. This verse is part of God's warning through Jeremiah that judgment was coming because the people had lost their moral compass entirely.
