Jeremiah 8:4-7
New American Standard Bible
4 “You shall say to them, ‘This is what the Lord says:
“Do people (A)fall and not get up?
Does one turn away and not [a]repent?
5 Why has this people, Jerusalem,
(B)Turned away in continual apostasy?
They (C)hold on to deceit,
They (D)refuse to return.
6 I (E)have listened and heard,
They have spoken what is not right;
(F)No one repented of his wickedness,
Saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turned to his own course,
Like a (G)horse charging into the battle.
7 Even the stork in the sky
(H)Knows her seasons;
And the (I)turtledove, the swallow, and the crane
Keep to the time of their [b]migration;
But (J)My people do not know
The judgment of the Lord.

4 “You shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord,
“Do men (A)fall and not get up again?
Does one turn away and not [a]repent?
5 “Why then has this people, Jerusalem,
(B)Turned away in continual apostasy?
They (C)hold fast to deceit,
They (D)refuse to return.
6 “I (E)have listened and heard,
They have spoken what is not right;
(F)No man repented of his wickedness,
Saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turned to his course,
Like a (G)horse charging into the battle.
7 “Even the stork in the sky
(H)Knows her seasons;
And the (I)turtledove and the swift and the thrush
Observe the time of their [b]migration;
But (J)My people do not know
The ordinance of the Lord.
