Jeremiah 8:4-6

Tree of Life Version

“Do men fall and not get up again?
Does one turn away and not return?
⁵ Why then has this people—Jerusalem—
    turned away in perpetual backsliding?
They cling to deceit; they refuse to return.
⁶ I listened attentively,
    but they have not spoken what is right.
    No one repents of his wickedness,
        saying, ‘What have I done?’
    Each one turns in his own direction,
        like a horse charging into battle.
