6I hearkened and heard, they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
7Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
8How do ye say, We wise, and the law of the LORD with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he ; the pen of the scribes in vain.
9The wise are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom in them?
