Jeremiah 8:5-7
International Standard Version
5 Why has this people turned away?[a]
Why does Jerusalem continue in apostasy?
They hold on to deceit and refuse to repent.
6 I’ve listened and I’ve heard,
and what they say is not right.
No one repents of his evil and says,
‘What have I done?’
“They all turn to their own course
like a horse racing into battle.
7 Even the stork in the sky knows its seasons,
and the dove, the swallow, and the crane observe the time for migration.
But my people don’t know
the requirements[b] of the Lord.
