7 Even the stork in the heavens
knows her times,
and the turtledove, swallow, and crane [1]
keep the time of their coming,
but my people know not
the rules [2] 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?
