Knows her appointed times;
And the turtledove, the swift, and the swallow
Observe the time of their coming.
But bMy people do not know the judgment of the Lord.
aAnd the law of the Lord is with us’?
Look, the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood.
They are dismayed and taken.
Behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord;
So bwhat wisdom do they have?
And their fields to those who will inherit them;
Because from the least even to the greatest
Everyone is given to bcovetousness;
From the prophet even to the priest
Everyone deals falsely.
Saying, b‘Peace, peace!’
When there is no peace.
| << Jeremiah 8:8 | Jeremiah 8:10 >> |
