They loved what they loved… and nothing would turn them around.
…they clung to deceit, (holding fast to lies with every ounce of resolve they had), they refuse to return." Jeremiah 8:5
Why?
"…which they have loved and which they have served and after which they have walked, which they have sought and which they have worshiped…" Jeremiah 8:2
"A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul, but it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil." (Proverbs 13:19)
They loved what they loved, served what they loved, walked in what they served, sought what they walked in and worshiped what they sought. It was sweet to their soul and nothing outside of a supernatural work of God would free them from clinging to this deceit.
These people were all together consumed with falsehood and lies. It was evidence that they didn't know nor want to know the Lord. They were consumed with stupidity and looked more like the nations than a people who belonged to God. Jeremiah 10 says the world we live in, regardless of the intellect, insight or ingenuity, that can't or won't seek God, acknowledge Him as Creator and sustainer and does not yield and give place and priority to Him (the fear of the Lord), is consumed with stupidity. (Jeremiah 10:8,14, 21).
