Jeremiah 8:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: Shall not he that falleth, rise again? and he that is turned away, shall he not turn again?

⁵ Why then is this people in Jerusalem turned away with a stubborn revolting? they have laid hold on lying, and have refused to return.

⁶ I attended, and hearkened; no man speaketh what is good, there is none that doth penance for his sin, saying: What have I done? They are all turned to their own course, as a horse rushing to the battle.
