Judgment on the Jews in Egypt
9Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers and of the kings of Judah and their wives, as well as the wickedness that you and your wives committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 10To this day they have not humbled themselves or shown reverence, nor have they followed My instruction or the statutes that I set before you and your fathers. 11Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I will set My face to bring disaster and to cut off all Judah.…

To this day
This phrase emphasizes the ongoing nature of the people's disobedience. In the Hebrew context, "to this day" (עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה, 'ad hayom hazeh) is often used to indicate a persistent state or condition. It underscores the stubbornness and continuity of the people's rebellion against God. Historically, this reflects the period after the fall of Jerusalem when the remnant in Egypt continued in their idolatrous practices, despite witnessing the consequences of such actions.

they have not humbled themselves
The Hebrew root for "humbled" (כָּנַע, kana) conveys the idea of subduing or bringing oneself low. In the biblical narrative, humility is a key virtue, often associated with repentance and submission to God's will. The people's failure to humble themselves indicates a refusal to acknowledge their sin and turn back to God. This lack of humility is a recurring theme in the prophetic literature, where the call to repentance is met with resistance.

or feared
The word "feared" (יָרֵא, yare) in Hebrew carries the dual sense of reverence and terror. In the biblical context, fearing God is foundational to wisdom and obedience. The absence of fear here suggests a profound spiritual blindness and disregard for God's authority and power. This lack of fear is symptomatic of a deeper spiritual malaise, where the people have lost sight of God's holiness and their covenantal obligations.

nor have they walked in My law
"Walked" (הָלַךְ, halak) is a metaphor for living or conducting one's life. The law (תּוֹרָה, torah) represents God's revealed will and instruction. To walk in God's law is to live in accordance with His commandments. The people's failure to walk in the law signifies a deliberate choice to live contrary to God's revealed will, highlighting their moral and spiritual waywardness.

or in My statutes
Statutes (חֻקִּים, chuqqim) refer to specific decrees or ordinances given by God. These are often seen as expressions of God's covenant with Israel. The neglect of these statutes indicates a breach of the covenant relationship, a theme that is central to the prophetic critique. The statutes were meant to guide the people in righteousness and justice, and their neglect points to a broader societal and spiritual decay.

that I set before you and your fathers
This phrase underscores the continuity of God's revelation and the historical responsibility of the people. The setting of the law before "you and your fathers" (אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם, avoteichem) highlights the generational aspect of the covenant. It serves as a reminder of the enduring nature of God's expectations and the people's persistent failure to live up to them. This historical context reinforces the idea that the current generation is part of a long line of disobedience, yet also holds the potential for repentance and renewal.

Verse 10. - They are not humbled; rather, not made contrite (literally, not crushed, viz. by repentance).
