Jeremiah 8:5-9
5Why then is this peopleH5971 of JerusalemH3389 slidden backH7725 by a perpetualH5329 backslidingH4878? they holdH2388 fast deceitH8649, they refuseH3985 to returnH7725.
6I hearkenedH7181 and heardH8085, but they spake not arightH1696: no manH376 repentedH5162 him ofH5921 his wickednessH7451, sayingH559, What have I doneH6213? every one turnedH7725 to his courseH4794, as the horseH5483 rushethH7857 into the battleH4421.
7Yea, the storkH2624 in the heavenH8064 knowethH3045 her appointed timesH4150; and the turtledoveH8449 and the craneH5483 and the swallowH5693 observeH8104 the timeH6256 of their comingH935; but my peopleH5971 knowH3045 not the judgmentH4941 of YhwhH3068.
8How do ye sayH559, We are wiseH2450, and the lawH8451 of YhwhH3068 is with us? Lo, certainlyH403 in vainH8267 madeH6213 he it; the penH5842 of the scribesH5608 is in vainH8267.1
9The wiseH2450 men are ashamedH3001, they are dismayedH2865 and takenH3920: lo, they have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068; and what wisdomH2451 is in them?23
