John Trapp on Jeremiah 8:4

Ver. 4. Shall they fall and not ariſe?] Or, when men fall, will they not ariſe]? Or, will not one that hath turned aſide, return? To fall, may befall any man: but ſhall he lye there, and not aſſay to get up again? to loſe his way may be incident to the wiſeſt: but who but a fool would not make haſte to get into the right way again? Errare humanum eſt: perſeverare, diabolicum. And yet theſe ſtubborn Jews refuſe to riſe or return.
