Jeremiah 8:6-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
6
I have listened and heard,
They have spoken what is not right;
No one repented of his wickedness,
Saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turned to his own course,
Like a horse charging into the battle.
7
Even the stork in the sky
Knows her seasons;
And the turtledove, the swallow, and the crane
Keep to the time of their migration;
But My people do not know
The judgment of the
Lord
.
8
'How can you say, ‘We are wise,
And the Law of the
Lord
is with us’?
But behold, the lying pen of the scribes
Has made
it
into a lie.
9
The wise men are put to shame,
They are dismayed and caught;
Behold, they have rejected the word of the
Lord
,
So what
kind of
wisdom do they have?
10
Therefore I will give their wives to others,
Their fields to
new
owners;
Because from the least even to the greatest
Everyone is greedy for gain;
From the prophet even to the priest,
Everyone practices deceit.
11
They have healed the brokenness of the daughter of My people superficially,
Saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
But there is no peace.
King James Version
Chapter 8
6
I hearkened and heard, but 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.
7
Yea, 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
.
8
How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the
Lord
is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
9
The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the
Lord
; and what wisdom is in them?
10
Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
11
For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
6
I have paid careful attention.
They do not speak what is right.
No one regrets his evil,
asking, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone has stayed his course
like a horse rushing into battle.
7
Even storks in the sky
know their seasons.
Turtledoves, swallows, and cranes
are aware of their migration,
but my people do not know
the requirements of the
Lord
.
8
"How can you claim, ‘We are wise;
the law of the
Lord
is with us’?
In fact, the lying pen of scribes
has produced falsehood.
9
The wise will be put to shame;
they will be dismayed and snared.
They have rejected the word of the
Lord
,
so what wisdom do they really have?
10
Therefore, I will give their wives to other men,
their fields to new occupants,
for from the least to the greatest,
everyone is making profit dishonestly.
From prophet to priest,
everyone deals falsely.
11
They have treated the brokenness
of my dear people superficially,
claiming, ‘Peace, peace,’
when there is no peace.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
6
I listen to their conversations
and don’t hear a word of truth.
Is anyone sorry for doing wrong?
Does anyone say, 'What a terrible thing I have done'?
No! All are running down the path of sin
as swiftly as a horse galloping into battle!
7
Even the stork that flies across the sky
knows the time of her migration,
as do the turtledove, the swallow, and the crane.
They all return at the proper time each year.
But not my people!
They do not know the
Lord
’s laws.
8
'‘How can you say, 'We are wise because we have the word of the
Lord
,'
when your teachers have twisted it by writing lies?
9
These wise teachers will fall
into the trap of their own foolishness,
for they have rejected the word of the
Lord
.
Are they so wise after all?
10
I will give their wives to others
and their farms to strangers.
From the least to the greatest,
their lives are ruled by greed.
Yes, even my prophets and priests are like that.
They are all frauds.
11
They offer superficial treatments
for my people’s mortal wound.
They give assurances of peace
when there is no peace.
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
6
I have paid attention and listened,
but they have not spoken rightly;
no man relents of his evil,
saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turns to his own course,
like a horse plunging headlong into battle.
7
Even the stork in the heavens
knows her times,
and the turtledove, swallow, and crane
keep the time of their coming,
but my people know not
the rules of the
Lord
.
8
"How can you say, ‘We are wise,
and the law of the
Lord
is with us’?
But behold, the lying pen of the scribes
has made it into a lie.
9
The wise men shall be put to shame;
they shall be dismayed and taken;
behold, they have rejected the word of the
Lord
,
so what wisdom is in them?
10
Therefore I will give their wives to others
and their fields to conquerors,
because from the least to the greatest
everyone is greedy for unjust gain;
from prophet to priest,
everyone deals falsely.
11
They have healed the wound of my people lightly,
saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
when there is no peace.
New International Version
Chapter 8
6
I have listened attentively,
but they do not say what is right.
None of them repent of their wickedness,
saying, "What have I done?"
Each pursues their own course
like a horse charging into battle.
7
Even the stork in the sky
knows her appointed seasons,
and the dove, the swift and the thrush
observe the time of their migration.
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?
10
Therefore I will give their wives to other men
and their fields to new owners.
From the least to the greatest,
all are greedy for gain;
prophets and priests alike,
all practice deceit.
11
They dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious.
"Peace, peace," they say,
when there is no peace.
New King James Version
Chapter 8
6
I listened and heard,
But
they do not speak aright.
No man repented of his wickedness,
Saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turned to his own course,
As the horse rushes into the battle.
7
“Even the stork in the heavens
Knows her appointed times;
And the turtledove, the swift, and the swallow
Observe the time of their coming.
But My people do not know the judgment of the
Lord
.
8
“How can you say, ‘We
are
wise,
And the law of the
Lord
is
with us’?
Look, the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood.
9
The wise men are ashamed,
They are dismayed and taken.
Behold, they have rejected the word of the
Lord
;
So what wisdom do they have?
10
Therefore I will give their wives to others,
And
their fields to those who will inherit
them;
Because from the least even to the greatest
Everyone is given to covetousness;
From the prophet even to the priest
Everyone deals falsely.
11
For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people slightly,
Saying, ‘Peace, peace!’
When
there is
no peace.
