Jeremiah 8:7-9
EasyEnglish Bible
7 Even birds know when it is time for them to move to a different place.
That is true for storks, doves, swallows and cranes.[a]
Birds know when it is time to return,
but my people do not know my laws.
8 You say, “We are wise
because we have the law of the Lord.”
But I tell you, your teachers have changed my laws.
They teach you lies instead.
9 Those wise teachers will be ashamed and upset.
Enemies will catch them as their prisoners.
They have refused to accept the Lord's message.
So they are not really wise.
Footnotes
- 8:7 ‘storks, doves, swallows and cranes’ are kinds of birds.
