Isaiah 1:3-4
New American Standard Bible
3 An ox knows its owner,
And a donkey its master’s manger,
But Israel (A)does not know,
My people (B)do not understand.”
4 Oh, sinful nation,
People weighed down with guilt,
[a](C)Offspring of evildoers,
Sons who (D)act corruptly!
They have (E)abandoned the Lord,
They have (F)despised the Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away [b]from Him.

Jeremiah 8:5-10
New American Standard Bible
5 Why has this people, Jerusalem,
(A)Turned away in continual apostasy?
They (B)hold on to deceit,
They (C)refuse to return.
6 I (D)have listened and heard,
They have spoken what is not right;
(E)No one repented of his wickedness,
Saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turned to his own course,
Like a (F)horse charging into the battle.
7 Even the stork in the sky
(G)Knows her seasons;
And the (H)turtledove, the swallow, and the crane
Keep to the time of their [a]migration;
But (I)My people do not know
The judgment of the Lord.
8 “(J)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 (K)put to shame,
They are dismayed and caught;
Behold, they have (L)rejected the word of the Lord,
So what kind of wisdom do they have?
10 Therefore I will (M)give their wives to others,
Their fields to new owners;
Because from the least even to the greatest
Everyone is (N)greedy for gain;
From the prophet even to the priest,
Everyone practices deceit.

Jeremiah 8:5-10
New International Version
5 Why then have these people turned away?
Why does Jerusalem always turn away?
They cling to deceit;(A)
they refuse to return.(B)
6 I have listened(C) attentively,
but they do not say what is right.
None of them repent(D) of their wickedness,
saying, “What have I done?”
Each pursues their own course(E)
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(F)
the requirements of the Lord.
8 “‘How can you say, “We are wise,
for we have the law(G) of the Lord,”
when actually the lying pen of the scribes
has handled it falsely?
9 The wise(H) will be put to shame;
they will be dismayed(I) and trapped.(J)
Since they have rejected the word(K) of the Lord,
what kind of wisdom(L) do they have?
10 Therefore I will give their wives to other men
and their fields to new owners.(M)
From the least to the greatest,
all are greedy for gain;(N)
prophets(O) and priests alike,
all practice deceit.(P)
