Jeremiah 8:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ Why has this people turned away?^[a]
    Why does Jerusalem continue in apostasy?
        They hold on to deceit and refuse to repent.
⁶ I’ve listened and I’ve heard,
    and what they say is not right.
No one repents of his evil and says,
    ‘What have I done?’
“They all turn to their own course
    like a horse racing into battle.
⁷ Even the stork in the sky knows its seasons,
    and the dove, the swallow, and the crane observe the time for migration.
But my people don’t know
    the requirements^[b] of the Lord.
