Jeremiah 8:7-9
New King James Version
7 “Even (A)the stork in the heavens
Knows her appointed times;
And the turtledove, the swift, and the swallow
Observe the time of their coming.
But (B)My people do not know the judgment of the Lord.
8 “How can you say, ‘We are wise,
(C)And the law of the Lord is with us’?
Look, the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood.
9 (D)The wise men are ashamed,
They are dismayed and taken.
Behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord;
So (E)what wisdom do they have?
Jeremiah 8:7-9
New International Version
7 Even the stork in the sky
knows her appointed seasons,
and the dove, the swift and the thrush
observe the time of their migration.
But my people do not know(A)
the requirements of the Lord.
Jeremiah 8:7-9
King James Version
7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord.
8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them?
