680 B
General Information:
The words "them" and "they" in these verses refer to the people of Judah.
Connecting Statement:
Yahweh continues to speak of his judgment on the people of Judah.
So say to them
Yahweh is telling Jeremiah what to say to the people of Judah.
Does anyone fall and not get up? Does anyone get lost and not try to return?
These questions make the point that the way that the people of Judah were acting did not make sense. They can be translated as a statement. Alternate translation: "You know that when someone falls, he gets back up, and when someone gets lost, he tries to find his way back." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
