Jeremiah 44:10They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.
The setting
Egypt, ~586 BC. These refugees survived the siege, saw the temple burned, walked past corpses in Jerusalem's streets — yet still won't humble themselves...
The emotion here: bewildered by their stubborn blindness after everything
The original word
dākāʾ (דָּכָא) — crushed, beaten down into humility, what should happen after devastating loss
Why it matters
This confrontation happened after Jerusalem had been destroyed for several years — time enough to process what happened
