Jeremiah 8:6-10

6I 1have listenedH7181 and heardH8085, They have spokenH1696 whatH3653 isH3653 not rightH3653; 2NoH369 oneH376 repentedH5162 of his wickednessH7463, SayingH559, ‘WhatH4100 have I doneH6213?’ EveryoneH3605 turnedH7725 to his own courseH4794, Like a 3horseH5483 chargingH7857 into the battleH4421.7EvenH1571 the storkH2624 in the skyH8064 4KnowsH3045 her seasonsH4150; And the 5turtledoveH8449, the swallowH5483, and the craneH5693 KeepH8104 toH8104 the timeH6256 of their 6migrationH935; But 7My peopleH5971 do not knowH3045 The judgmentH4941 of the LordH3068.

8“8HowH351 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 9putH954 toH954 shameH954, They are dismayedH2865 and caughtH3920; BeholdH2009, they have 10rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, So whatH4100 kind of wisdomH2451 do they have?10ThereforeH3651 I will 11giveH5414 their wivesH802 to othersH312, Their fieldsH7704 to new ownersH3423; BecauseH3588 from the leastH6996 even to the greatestH1419 EveryoneH3605 is 12greedyH1214 for gainH1215; From the prophetH5030 even to the priestH3548, EveryoneH3605 practicesH6213 deceitH8267.
