Jeremiah 8:7-9

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?

— Jeremiah 8:7-9
