Jeremiah 8:7-9

Names of God Bible

⁷Even storks know when it’s time to return.
    Mourning doves, swallows, and cranes know
        when it’s time to migrate.
            But my people don’t know
                that I, Yahweh, am urging them to return.

⁸“‘How can you say that you are wise
    and that you have Yahweh’s teachings?
    The scribes have used their pens to turn these teachings into lies.
⁹Wise people are put to shame, confused, and trapped.
    They have rejected the word of Yahweh.
    They don’t really have any wisdom.
