5 H5971 Why then hath this people H3389 of Jerusalem H7725 [H8790] slidden back H5329 [H8737] by a perpetual H4878 backsliding? H2388 [H8689] they hold H8649 fast deceit, H3985 [H8765] they refuse H7725 [H8800] to return.

6 H7181 [H8689] I hearkened H8085 [H8799] and heard, H1696 [H8762] but they spoke not aright: H376 no man H5162 [H8737] sighed H5921 of H7451 his evil, H559 [H8800] saying, H6213 [H8804] What have I done? H7725 [H8804] every one turned H4794 to his course, H5483 as the horse H7857 [H8802] rusheth H4421 to the battle.

7 H2624 Yea, the stork H8064 in the heaven H3045 [H8804] knoweth H4150 her appointed times; H8449 and the turtledove H5483 and the crane H5693 and the swallow H8104 [H8804] observe H6256 the time H935 [H8800] of their coming; H5971 but my people H3045 [H8804] know H4941 not the judgment H3068 of the LORD.

8 H559 [H8799] How do ye say, H2450 We are wise, H8451 and the law H3068 of the LORD H403 is with us? Lo, certainly H8267 in vain H6213 [H8804] he hath made H5842 it; the pen H5608 [H8802] of the scribes H8267 is in vain.

9 H2450 The wise H3001 [H8689] men are ashamed, H2865 [H8804] they are dismayed H3920 [H8735] and taken: H3988 [H8804] lo, they have rejected H1697 the word H3068 of the LORD; H2451 and what wisdom is in them?
