⁶ I have listened attentively,
    and I have listened.
They do not speak honestly,
    there is no man who regrets his wickedness, saying, ‘What have I done?’
All of them are turning to their ways of running,
    like a horse plunging into battle.
⁷ Even the stork in heaven knows its appointed time,
    and the turtledove, and the swallow, and the song bird,
they observe the time of their coming.
    But my people do not know the ordinance^[a] of Yahweh.
⁸ How can you say, ‘We are wise and the law of Yahweh is with us’?
    Look, surely the lying stylus of the scribes^[b] has made it a lie.
