Jeremiah 8:6-8
New King James Version
Jeremiah 8:6-8
New King James Version
6 (A)I listened and heard,
But they do not speak aright.
(B)No man repented of his wickedness,
Saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turned to his own course,
As the horse rushes into the battle.
7 “Even (C)the stork in the heavens
Knows her appointed times;
And the turtledove, the swift, and the swallow
Observe the time of their coming.
But (D)My people do not know the judgment of the Lord.
8 “How can you say, ‘We are wise,
(E)And the law of the Lord is with us’?
Look, the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood.

New International Version
Jeremiah 8:6-8
New International Version
6 I have listened(A) attentively,
but they do not say what is right.
None of them repent(B) of their wickedness,
saying, “What have I done?”
Each pursues their own course(C)
like a horse charging into battle.
7 Even the stork in the sky
knows her appointed seasons,
and the dove, the swift and the thrush
observe the time of their migration.
But my people do not know(D)
the requirements of the Lord.
8 “‘How can you say, “We are wise,
for we have the law(E) of the Lord,”
when actually the lying pen of the scribes
has handled it falsely?
