Jeremiah 8:7-9

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁷ Even storks in the sky
know their seasons.
Turtledoves, swallows, and cranes^[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,^(C)
so what wisdom do they really have?
