Jeremiah 8:5 - Exposition
Slidden back … backsliding . The verb is the same verb (in another conjugation) as in Jeremiah 8:4 , and the noun is a derivative from it. The Authorized Version, therefore, has slightly weakened the force of the argument. They hold fast deceit . They cling to a false view of their relation to their God (comp. Jeremiah 4:2 ; Jeremiah 5:2 ).
