* "
Moreover you shall say to them , "
Thus says the LORD : "
Will they fall and not rise ?
Will one turn away and not return ?
*
Why has this people slidden back ,
Jerusalem ,
in a perpetual backsliding ?
They hold fast to deceit ,
They refuse to return .
*
I listened and heard ,
But they do not speak aright .
No man repented of his wickedness ,
Saying , "
What have I done ?'
Everyone turned to his own course ,
As the horse rushes into the battle .
* "
Even the stork in the heavens Knows her appointed times ;
And the turtledove ,
the swift ,
and the swallow Observe the time of their coming .
But My people do not know the judgment of the LORD .
* "
How can you say , "
We are wise ,
And the law of the LORD is with us '?
Look ,
the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood .
*
The wise men are ashamed ,
They are dismayed and taken .
Behold ,
they have rejected the word of the LORD ;
So what wisdom do they have ?
