Jeremiah 8:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶ I listened carefully, but you did not speak the truth. Not one of you has been sorry for your wickedness; not one of you has asked, ‘What have I done wrong?’ Each of you keep on going your own way, like a horse rushing into battle. ⁷ Even storks know when it is time to return; doves, swallows, and thrushes know when it is time to migrate. But, my people, you do not know the laws by which I rule you. ⁸ How can you say that you are wise and that you know my laws? Look, the laws have been changed by dishonest scribes.
