Jeremiah 8:7-10

7EvenH1571 the storkH2624 in the skyH8064 knowsH3045 her appointed seasonsH4150. The turtledoveH8449, the swiftH5483, and the thrushH56931 keepH8104 their timeH6256 of migrationH935, but My peopleH5971 do notH3808 knowH3045 the requirementsH4941 of the LORDH3068.

8HowH349 can you sayH559, ‘WeH587 are wiseH2450,and the LawH8451 of the LORDH3068 is with usH854,’when in factH403H2009 the lyingH8267 penH5842 of the scribesH5608has producedH6213 a deceptionH8267?9The wiseH2450 will be put to shameH954;they will be dismayedH2865 and trappedH3920.SinceH2009 they have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068,whatH4100 wisdomH2451 do they really have?
10ThereforeH3651 I will giveH5414 their wivesH802 to other menH312and their fieldsH7704 to new ownersH3423.ForH3588 from the leastH6996 of them toH5704 the greatestH1419,allH3605 are greedyH1214 for gainH1215;from prophetH5030 toH5704 priestH3548,allH3605 practiceH6213 deceitH8267.
