* And thou shalt say unto them , Thus saith Jehovah : Do [men ] fall , and not rise up ? Doth one turn away , and not return ? * Why hath this people of Jerusalem slidden back with a perpetual backsliding ? They hold fast deceit , they refuse to return . * I hearkened and heard : they speak not what is right ; there is no man who repenteth him of his wickedness , saying , What have I done ? Every one turneth to his course , like a horse rushing into the battle . * Even a stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed times , and the turtle-dove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming ; but my people know not the judgment of Jehovah . * How do ye say , We are wise , and the law of Jehovah is with us ? Behold , certainly the lying pen of the scribes hath made it falsehood . * The wise men are ashamed , they are dismayed and taken : behold , they have rejected Jehovah 's word ; and what wisdom is in them ?
