Jeremiah 8:5-10

5Why has this people, Jerusalem, 1Turned away in continual apostasy? They 2hold on to deceit, They 3refuse to return.6I 4have listened and heard, They have spoken what is not right; 5No one repented of his wickedness, Saying, ‘What have I done?’ Everyone turned to his own course, Like a 6horse charging into the battle.7Even the stork in the sky 7Knows her seasons; And the 8turtledove, the swallow, and the crane Keep to the time of their 9migration; But 10My people do not know The judgment of the Lord.

8“11How can you say, ‘We are wise, And the Law of the Lord is with us’? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes Has made it into a lie.9The wise men are 12put to shame, They are dismayed and caught; Behold, they have 13rejected the word of the Lord, So what kind of wisdom do they have?10Therefore I will 14give their wives to others, Their fields to new owners; Because from the least even to the greatest Everyone is 15greedy for gain; From the prophet even to the priest, Everyone practices deceit.
