Jeremiah 8:5-7

Complete Jewish Bible

⁵ Why do these people keep backsliding?
Why is their backsliding so persistent?
They cling to deceit and refuse to return!
⁶ I listened attentively but they spoke nothing right.
No one repents of his wickedness,
saying, “What have I done!”
Each runs off in his own direction,
like a horse plunging headlong into battle.
⁷ Storks in the sky know their seasons;
doves, swallows and cranes their migration times;
but my people do not know
the rulings of Adonai!
