Jeremiah 8:4-9
4So you are to tell them this is what the LORD says:
“Do men fall and not get up again?Does one turn away and not return?5Why then have these people turned away?Why does Jerusalem always turn away?They cling to deceit;they refuse to return.6I have listened and heard;they do not speak what is right.No one repents of his wickedness,asking, ‘What have I done?’Everyone has pursued his own courselike a horse charging into battle.7Even the stork in the skyknows her appointed seasons.The turtledove, the swift, and the thrush1keep their time of migration,but My people do not knowthe requirements of the LORD.
8How can you say, ‘We are wise,and the Law of the LORD is with us,’when in fact the lying pen of the scribeshas produced a deception?9The wise will be put to shame;they will be dismayed and trapped.Since they have rejected the word of the LORD,what wisdom do they really have?
