Jeremiah 8:7-9

7 Even the stork in the sky

and the dove, the swift and the thrush

But my people do not know
the requirements of the Lord.

8 “‘How can you say, “We are wise,
for we have the law of the Lord,”
when actually the lying pen of the scribes
has handled it falsely?

9 The wise will be put to shame;
they will be dismayed and trapped.
Since they have rejected the word of the Lord,
what kind of wisdom do they have?
