Stubborn Apostasy (vv.
4-5)
Verse 4
Sinners will sin but a righteous man will repent.
Though they turn away, they eventually turn back.
But (verse 5) the people of Jerusalem turn away in continual apostasy.
They hold fast to deceit.
They refuse to return.
[Apostasy?]
rebellion
abandonment
purposeful turning away
continual turning away
[Deceit?]
[Refuse?]
Eager Apostasy (v. 6)
God not only listens to what we say, He also sees what we do.
Even if we say, “I repent,” God sees if we are genuine or not.
Horse charging = Ran to sin with eagerness
If we are charging into apostasy while claiming to be right with God, it can only be because we do not know God as He is.
Ignorant Apostasy (v.
7)
The birds in the sky know when its time to migrate, but God’s people don’t know that is time to repent RIGHT NOW.
They don’t know because they do not know the ordinance (Law) of the Lord.
[Ordinance?]
ordinance (Lat.
ordinans, “arranging”) A religious rite, similar to a sacrament, engaged in as a memorial or act of obedience rather than as having sacramental efficacy.
In nonsacramental Christian traditions, baptism and the Lord’s Supper are considered ordinances.
(v.
8) The wise obey the ordinance of God.
The people of Judah were not wise because they were not obedient.
The Law of the Lord was not with them but against them.
The pens of the scribes recorded the word’s of false prophets as the Word of the Lord.
(v. 9) So-called ‘wise men’ are revealed to be fools because they reject the true Word of the Lord.
They are put to shame, dismayed, and caught.
Their ‘wisdom’ is foolishness and it is a snare.
(v.
10) Those who reject the Word of God will have their wives taken and given to others and their fields taken and given to new owners.
This will happen because they (all of them) have been greedy for gain and continually deceitful.
(v.
11) The scribes (?) heal the brokenness (worry and anxiety) of Jerusalem (?) superficially by pushing the message of the false prophets.
The judgment of God was coming, but the false prophets were saying, “Peace, peace,” but there was no peace because there was no repentance.
(v.
12) The provoking of God with graven images with foreign idols (v.
19).
(v.
13) The Lord’s judgment will snatch them away to such an extent that, if Judah were a vine or a fig tree, there would be no fruit left and the leaves would be withering.
(v.
14) “Let’s get it over with.”
