Jeremiah 8:4-7

Authorized (King James) Version

⁴ Moreover thou shalt say unto them,
Thus saith the Lord; Shall they fall, and not arise?
shall he turn away, and not return?
⁵ Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding?
they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
⁶ I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright:
no man repented him of his wickedness,
saying, What have I done?
every one turned to his course,
as the horse rusheth into the battle.
⁷ Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times;
and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming;
but my people know not the judgment of the Lord.
