7 Even the stork in the heavens
knows its times,
and the turtledove, swallow, and crane[a]
observe the time of their coming,
but my people do not know
the ordinance of the Lord.(A)
8 How can you say, “We are wise,
and the law of the Lord is with us,”
when, in fact, the false pen of the scribes
has made it into a lie?(B)
9 The wise shall be put to shame;
they shall be dismayed and taken;
since they have rejected the word of the Lord,
what wisdom is in them?(C)
10 Therefore I will give their wives to others
and their fields to conquerors,
because from the least to the greatest
everyone is greedy for unjust gain;
from prophet to priest,
everyone deals falsely.(D)

23 Know well the condition of your flocks,
and give attention to your herds,
24 for riches do not last forever,
nor a crown for all generations.(A)
25 When the grass is gone, and new growth appears,
and the herbage of the mountains is gathered,(B)
26 the lambs will provide your clothing,
and the goats the price of a field;
27 there will be enough goats’ milk for your food,
for the food of your household
and nourishment for your female servants.

and the grass from the hills is gathered in,
26 the lambs will provide you with clothing,
and the goats with the price of a field.

and to nourish your female servants.
