Jeremiah 8:7 in Context — Jeremiah 8
5 ¿Por qué es este pueblo de Jerusalem rebelde con rebeldía perpetua? Abrazaron el engaño, no han querido volverse.
6 Escuché y oí; no hablan derecho, no hay hombre que se arrepienta de su mal, diciendo: ¿Qué he hecho? Cada cual se volvió á su carrera, como caballo que arremete con ímpetu á la batalla.
7 Aun la cigüeña en el cielo conoce su tiempo, y la tórtola y la grulla y la golondrina guardan el tiempo de su venida; mas mi pueblo no conoce el juicio de Jehová.
8 ¿Cómo decís: Nosotros somos sabios, y la ley de Jehová es con nosotros? Ciertamente, he aquí que en vano se cortó la pluma, por demás [fueron] los escribas.
9 Los sabios se avergonzaron, espantáronse y fueron presos: he aquí que aborrecieron la palabra de Jehová; ¿y qué sabiduría tienen?
