Jeremiah 8:4-13

4Moreover thou shalt sayH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Shall men fallH5307, and not riseH6965 up again? Shall one turnH7725 awayH7725, and not returnH7725? 5WhyH4069 then is this peopleH5971 of JerusalemH3389 slidden backH7725 by a perpetual backsliding? they holdH2388 fast deceit, they refuseH3985 to returnH7725. 6I hearkened and heardH8085, but they spake not aright: no manH376 repenteth him of his wickednessH7451, sayingH559, What have I done? every oneH376 turneth to his courseH4794, as a horseH5483 that rusheth headlong in the battleH4421. 7Yea, the storkH2624 in the heavensH8064 knoweth her appointedH4150 timesH6256; and the turtle-dove and the swallow and the craneH5693 observeH8104 the timeH6256 of their comingH935; but my peopleH5971 knowH3045 not the law of Jehovah.

8HowH349 do ye sayH559, We are wiseH2450, and the lawH8451 of Jehovah is with us? But, behold, the false pen of the scribesH5608 hath wrought falsely. 9The wiseH2450 men are putH954 to shameH954, they are dismayedH2865 and takenH3920: lo, they have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of Jehovah; and what mannerH1697 of wisdomH2451 is in them? 10ThereforeH3651 will I giveH5414 their wivesH802 unto othersH312, and their fieldsH7704 to them that shall possessH3423 them: for every one from the least even unto the greatestH1419 is givenH5414 to covetousness; from the prophetH5030 even unto the priestH3548 every one dealeth falsely. 11And they have healedH7495 the hurt of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 slightly, sayingH559, PeaceH7965, peaceH7965; when there is no peaceH7965. 12Were they ashamedH954 when they had committed abominationH8441? nay, they were not at all ashamedH954, neither could they blush: thereforeH3651 shall they fallH5307 among them that fallH5307; in the timeH6256 of their visitation they shall be castH5307 downH5307, saith Jehovah. 13I will utterly consume them, saith Jehovah: there shall be no grapes on the vineH1612, nor figsH8384 on the fig-tree, and the leafH5929 shall fade; and the things that I have givenH5414 them shall passH5674 away from them.
