Jeremiah 8:6-8
English Standard Version
Jeremiah 8:6-8
English Standard Version
6 (A)I have paid attention and listened,
but they have not spoken rightly;
no man relents of his evil,
saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turns to his own course,
(B)like a horse plunging headlong into battle.
7 Even the stork in the heavens
knows her times,
and (C)the turtledove, (D)swallow, and crane[a]
keep the time of their coming,
(E)but my people know not
the rules[b] of the Lord.
8 (F)“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.
