Jeremiah 8:6

“Even on his bed he plots evil; he commits himself to a sinful course and does not reject what is wrong.”

Reflects on people's persistent pursuit of wickedness.

“Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them, says the LORD.”

Mirrors the people's unrepentant attitude and impending judgment.

“LORD, do not your eyes look for truth? You struck them, but they felt no pain; you crushed them, but they refused correction. They made their faces harder than stone and refused to repent.”

Highlights the people's stubborn refusal to acknowledge their sins.

“They do not cry out to me from their hearts but wail on their beds. They slash themselves, appealing to Baal, but they turn away from me.”

Illustrates the superficiality of their repentance.

“The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.”

Echoes the theme of persistent unrepentance despite warnings and judgments.
