Jeremiah 8:5-9
5WhyH4069 then has thisH2088 peopleH5971, JerusalemH3389, 1TurnedH7725 awayH7725 in continualH5329 apostasyH4878? They 2holdH2388 fastH2388 to deceitH8649, They 3refuseH3985 to returnH7725.6I 4have listenedH7181 and heardH8085, They have spokenH1696 whatH3653 is not rightH3653; 5NoH369 manH376 repentedH5162 of his wickednessH7463, SayingH559, ‘WhatH4100 have I doneH6213?’ EveryoneH3605 turnedH7725 to his courseH4794, Like a 6horseH5483 chargingH7857 into the battleH4421.7EvenH1571 the storkH2624 in the skyH8064 7KnowsH3045 her seasonsH4150; And the 8turtledoveH8449 and the swiftH5483 and the thrushH5693 ObserveH8104 the timeH6256 of their 9migrationH935; But 10My peopleH5971 do not knowH3045 The ordinanceH4941 of the LordH3068.
8“11HowH351 can you sayH559, ‘We are wiseH2450, And the lawH8451 of the LordH3068 is with us’? But beholdH2009, the lyingH8267 penH5842 of the scribesH5613 Has madeH6213 it into a lieH8267.9The wiseH2450 menH2450 are 12putH954 to shameH954, They are dismayedH2865 and caughtH3920; BeholdH2009, they have 13rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, And whatH4100 kind of wisdomH2451 do they have?
