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.

None of them repent(B) of their wickedness,

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)
the requirements of the Lord.
