Jeremiah 8:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ I have listened carefully.
    But they do not say what is right.
They refuse to turn away from their sins.
    None of them says, ‘What have I done?’
Each of them goes their own way.
    They are like horses charging into battle.
⁷ Storks know when to fly south.
    So do doves, swifts and thrushes.
But my people do not know
    what I require them to do.
