Jeremiah 8:4-7 Say to them, The Lord proclaims: When people fall down, don’t they get up? When they turn aside, don’t they turn back? 5 Why then does this people, rebellious Jerusalem, persistently turn away from me? They cling to deceit and refuse to return. 6 I have listened carefully but haven’t heard a word of truth from them. No one regrets their wrongdoing; no one says, “What have I done?” Everyone turns to their own course, like a stallion dashing into the thick of battle. 7 Even the stork in the sky knows the seasons, and the dove, swallow, and crane return in due time. But my people don’t know the Lord’s ways.
