Jeremiah 8:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ Even the stork in the sky knows her seasons.
The turtledove, the swift, and the thrush^[a]
    observe the right time for their migration.
But my people do not recognize
    the just judgments of the Lord.
⁸ How can you say, “We are wise,
and the law of the Lord is with us,”
when in reality the lying pen of the scribes
    has changed it into a lie?
⁹ Your wise men will be put to shame.
They will be shattered and captured.
Since they have rejected the word of the Lord,
what kind of wisdom do they have?
