Even the stork that flies across the sky
    knows the time of her migration,
as do the turtledove, the swallow, and the crane.[a]
    They all return at the proper time each year.

    into the trap of their own foolishness,
for they have rejected the word of the Lord.
    Are they so wise after all?
