English Standard Version
Jeremiah 8:7-9
English Standard Version
7 Even the stork in the heavens
knows her times,
and (A)the turtledove, (B)swallow, and crane[a]
keep the time of their coming,
(C)but my people know not
the rules[b] of the Lord.
8 (D)“How 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.
9 (E)The wise men shall be put to shame;
they shall be dismayed (F)and taken;
behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord,
so what wisdom is in them?
