Jeremiah 8:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷ Even the stork in the sky
knows her seasons.
The turtledove, swallow, and crane^[a]
are aware of their migration,
but My people do not know
the requirements of the Lord.^(A)

⁸ “How can you claim, ‘We are wise;
the law of the Lord is with us’?
In fact, the lying pen of scribes^(B)
has produced falsehood.
⁹ The wise will be put to shame;
they will be dismayed and snared.
They have rejected the word of the Lord,
so what wisdom do they really have?
