Jeremiah 8:7-9

Tree of Life Version

⁷ Even the stork in the sky
    knows her appointed times,
    and the turtledove, swallow and crane
        observe the time of their migration,
    but My people do not know
        the judgments of Adonai.
⁸ How can you say, ‘We are wise!
    The Torah of Adonai is with us’?
    In fact, it is the lying pen of the scribes
        that have made it a lie.
⁹ The wise men will be put to shame—
        shattered, trapped.
    Look! They have rejected Adonai’s word,
        so what wisdom do they have?
