Jeremiah 8:6-7
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.

7 Even the stork in the sky
knows her appointed seasons,
and the dove, the swift and the thrush
observe the time of their migration.
But my people do not know(D)
