web Jeremiah:8:4-9 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Moreover you shall tell them ,
Thus says Yahweh :
Shall men fall ,
and not rise up again ?
Shall one turn away ,
and not return ?
*
Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding ?
they hold fast deceit ,
they refuse to return .
*
I listened and heard ,
but they didn '
t speak aright :
no man repents him of his wickedness ,
saying ,
What have I done ?
everyone turns to his course ,
as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle .
*
Yes ,
the stork in the sky knows her appointed times ;
and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming ;
but my people don '
t know Yahweh '
s law .
*
How do you say ,
We are wise ,
and the law of Yahweh is with us ?
But ,
behold ,
the false pen of the scribes has worked falsely .
*
The wise men are disappointed ,
they are dismayed and taken :
behold ,
they have rejected the word of Yahweh ;
and what kind of wisdom is in them ?
