Because of this, their hearts have become hard, and they are heading toward destruction. v. 4–5 : God asks, “Shall people fall and not get up? If someone goes off the right path, won’t they turn back?” In everyday life, people use common sense to fix their mistakes. But the people of Jerusalem keep turning away from God and refuse to return, holding tightly to their sins and believing lies instead of accepting the truth (Jeremiah 8:4
