Jeremiah 8:5-10

Why [then] is this people
<05971>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
slidden back
<07725> (8790)
by a perpetual
<05329> (8737)
backsliding
<04878>_?
they hold
<02388> (8689)
fast deceit
<08649>_,
they refuse
<03985> (8765)
to return
<07725> (8800)_.
I hearkened
<07181> (8689)
and heard
<08085> (8799)_,
[but] they spake not aright
<01696> (8762)_:
no man
<0376>
repented
<05162> (8737)
him of
<05921>
his wickedness
<07451>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
What have I done
<06213> (8804)_?
every one turned
<07725> (8804)
to his course
<04794>_,
as the horse
<05483>
rusheth
<07857> (8802)
into the battle
<04421>_.
Yea, the stork
<02624>
in the heaven
<08064>
knoweth
<03045> (8804)
her appointed times
<04150>_;
and the turtle
<08449>
and the crane
<05483>
and the swallow
<05693>
observe
<08104> (8804)
the time
<06256>
of their coming
<0935> (8800)_;
but my people
<05971>
know
<03045> (8804)
not the judgment
<04941>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
How do ye say
<0559> (8799)_,
We [are] wise
<02450>_,
and the law
<08451>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] with us? Lo, certainly
<0403>
in vain
<08267>
made
<06213> (8804)
he [it]; the pen
<05842>
of the scribes
<05608> (8802)
[is] in vain
<08267>_.
{in vain made...: or, the false pen of the scribes worketh for falsehood}
The wise
<02450>
[men] are ashamed
<03001> (8689)_,
they are dismayed
<02865> (8804)
and taken
<03920> (8735)_:
lo, they have rejected
<03988> (8804)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and what wisdom
<02451>
[is] in them? {The wise...: or, Have they been ashamed, etc} {what...: Heb. the wisdom of what thing}
Therefore will I give
<05414> (8799)
their wives
<0802>
unto others
<0312>_,
[and] their fields
<07704>
to them that shall inherit
<03423> (8802)
[them]: for every one from the least
<06996>
even unto the greatest
<01419>
is given
<01214> (8802)
to covetousness
<01215>_,
from the prophet
<05030>
even unto the priest
<03548>
every one dealeth
<06213> (8802)
falsely
<08267>_.
