“And them that are turned back from the Lord; and those that have not sought the Lord, nor enquired for him.”
Those who have turned back from following the LORD, who have not sought the LORD and have not inquired of him—the indictment shifts to those who practice pure apostasy: deliberate turning from covenant relationship and refusing to seek God's will. The doubling ('not sought... not inquired') emphasizes completeness of rebellion; these covenant violators have severed themselves from both practice and intention of fidelity.
