Jeremiah 8:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ I have paid attention and listened,
but they do not say what is right.
No one repents of his wickedness.
No one asks, “What have I done?”
Everyone pursues his own course,
    like a horse charging into battle.
⁷ Even the stork in the sky knows her seasons.
The turtledove, the swift, and the thrush^[a]
    observe the right time for their migration.
But my people do not recognize
    the just judgments of the Lord.
⁸ How can you say, “We are wise,
and the law of the Lord is with us,”
when in reality the lying pen of the scribes
    has changed it into a lie?
