rsv Jeremiah:8:5-7
rsv@Jeremiah:8:5 @ Why then has this people turned away in perpetual backsliding? They hold fast to deceit, they refuse to return.
rsv@Jeremiah:8:6 @ I have given heed and listened, but they have not spoken aright; no man repents of his wickedness, saying, `What have I done?' Every one turns to his own course, like a horse plunging headlong into battle.
rsv@Jeremiah:8:7 @ Even the stork in the heavens knows her times; and the turtledove, swallow, and crane keep the time of their coming; but my people know not the ordinance of the LORD.
