Jeremiah 8:4 - 8:7

4 “You shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh,
“Do men fall and not get up again?
Does one turn away and not turn back?
5
Why then has this people, Jerusalem,
Turned away in continual faithlessness?
They hold fast to deceit;
They refuse to return.
6
I have given heed and heard,
They have spoken what is not right;
No man regretted his evil,
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 crane
Keep the time of their migration;
But My people do not know
The legal judgment of Yahweh.
