Jeremiah:8:4-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thou shalt also say to them ,
Thus saith Jehovah ,
Doth a man fall ,
and not rise again ?
Doth one turn aside from the way ,
and not return ,
*
Why then hath this people ,
Why hath Jerusalem ,
completely revolted ?
They hold fast deceit ;
They refuse to return .
*
I have listened and heard ,
But they speak not aright ;
No one repenteth of his wickedness ,
Saying , "
What have I done ?"
Every one runneth at full speed in his rebellion ,
As a horse rusheth to the battle .
*
Even the stork in the heavens knoweth her times ,
And the turtle
dove and the swallow and the crane observe the season of their coming ,
But my people regard not the laws of Jehovah .
*
How is it that ye say , "
We are wise ,
We possess the law of Jehovah "?
Behold ,
the false pen of the scribes Hath turned it into falsehood .
*
The wise men shall be confounded ;
They shall be dismayed and ensnared ;
Behold ,
they have rejected the word of Jehovah ,
And what wisdom is there in them ?
