8:7 Even the stork knows
when it is time to move on. 1
The turtledove, swallow, and crane 2
recognize 3 the normal times for their migration.
But my people pay no attention
to 4 what I, the Lord, require of them. 5
8:8 How can you say, “We are wise!
We have the law of the Lord”?
The truth is, 6 those who teach it 7 have used their writings
to make it say what it does not really mean. 8
8:9 Your wise men will be put to shame.
They will be dumbfounded and be brought to judgment. 9
Since they have rejected the word of the Lord,
what wisdom do they really have?
