Jeremiah 8:5-9
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?
