Study note

Setting — God addresses the Judahite remnant in Egypt, confronting their persistent rebellion after Jerusalem's fall. He contrasts their current idolatry with the statutes He previously gave to their ancestors.

The words — דֻכְּא֔וּ (du.ke'U) literally means "they have been made contrite," and יָרְא֗וּ (ya.re'U) means "they have feared." The text states they have not humbled themselves or shown reverence to this day.

The thread — The text notes their failure to follow instruction, which aligns with Proverbs 28:14 on reverence, Jeremiah 8:12 on shame before abomination, and 1 Peter 5:6 on humbling under God's hand. These passages track the same pattern of rejected statutes and hardened hearts.

Why it lands — The verse demands acknowledgment of persistent disobedience to divine law. It requires readers to examine whether they submit to God's statutes or continue in self-willed rebellion.

King James Version

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.
