Jeremiah 8:7
Berean Standard Bible
Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons. The turtledove, the swift, and the thrush * keep their time of migration, but My people do not know the requirements of the LORD.
Context
5Why then have these people turned away?
Why does Jerusalem always turn away?
They cling to deceit;
they refuse to return. 6I have listened and heard;
they do not speak what is right.
No one repents of his wickedness,
asking, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone has pursued his own course
like a horse charging into battle. 7Even the stork in the sky
knows her appointed seasons.
The turtledove, the swift, and the thrush *
keep their time of migration,
but My people do not know
the requirements of the LORD. 8How can you say, ‘We are wise,
and the Law of the LORD is with us,’
when in fact the lying pen of the scribes
has produced a deception? 9The wise will be put to shame;
they will be dismayed and trapped.
Since they have rejected the word of the LORD,
what wisdom do they really have?
