Jeremiah, Chapter 8, verses 5-10

⁵ “Why then has this people, Jerusalem,
Turned away in continual apostasy?
They hold fast to deceit,
They refuse to return.
⁶ “I have listened and heard,
They have spoken what is not right;
No man repented of his wickedness,
Saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turned to his course,
Like a horse charging into the battle.
⁷ “Even the stork in the sky
Knows her seasons;
And the turtledove and the swift and the thrush
Observe the time of their^bmigration;
But My people do not know
The ordinance of the LORD.
⁸ “How can you say, ‘We are wise,
And the law of the LORD is with us’?
But behold, the lying pen of the scribes
Has made it into a lie.
⁹ “The wise men are put to shame,
They are dismayed and caught;
Behold, they have rejected the word of the LORD,
And what kind of wisdom do they have?
¹⁰ “Therefore I will give their wives to others,
Their fields to^cnew owners;
Because from the least even to the greatest
Everyone is greedy for gain;
From the prophet even to the priest
Everyone practices deceit.
