Jeremiah 8:4-6
4
Sin and Punishment
“Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord says:
“‘When men fall down, do they not get up?
When a man turns away, does he not return?
5
Why then have these people turned away?
Why does Jerusalem always turn away?
They cling to deceit;
they refuse to return.
6
I have listened attentively,
but they do not say what is right.
No one repents of his wickedness,
saying, “What have I done?”
Each pursues his own course
like a horse charging into battle.
