Jeremiah 8:12

Jeremiah 8:12. Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush:

What a striking expression is this! To what a condition of shameless obstinacy have men’s minds been brought when it can be said of them, "They were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush." The very power to be ashamed was taken from them. Surely, almost the last ray of any hope of salvation must be gone from the man who cannot blush at the thought of his own iniquity.
