Isaiah 1:3-4
New American Standard Bible
3 An ox knows its owner,
And a donkey its master’s manger,
But Israel (A)does not know,
My people (B)do not understand.”
4 Oh, sinful nation,
People weighed down with guilt,
[a](C)Offspring of evildoers,
Sons who (D)act corruptly!
They have (E)abandoned the Lord,
They have (F)despised the Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away [b]from Him.

Jeremiah 8:5-10
New American Standard Bible
5 Why has this people, Jerusalem,
(A)Turned away in continual apostasy?
They (B)hold on to deceit,
They (C)refuse to return.
6 I (D)have listened and heard,
They have spoken what is not right;
(E)No one repented of his wickedness,
Saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turned to his own course,
Like a (F)horse charging into the battle.
7 Even the stork in the sky
(G)Knows her seasons;
And the (H)turtledove, the swallow, and the crane
Keep to the time of their [a]migration;
But (I)My people do not know
The judgment of the Lord.
8 “(J)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 (K)put to shame,
They are dismayed and caught;
Behold, they have (L)rejected the word of the Lord,
So what kind of wisdom do they have?
10 Therefore I will (M)give their wives to others,
Their fields to new owners;
Because from the least even to the greatest
Everyone is (N)greedy for gain;
From the prophet even to the priest,
Everyone practices deceit.
