Jeremiah 8:7-9

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
