Even the birds know

4You shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh: Do people fall and not rise again? Does one turn away and not return?’

5Why has this people turned away—Jerusalem—with a perpetual turning away? They hold fast to deceit; they refuse to return.

6I have paid attention and listened: they do not speak rightly. No man repents of his evil, saying, ‘What have I done?’ Every one turns in his own course, like a horse rushing into battle.

7Even the stork in the heavens knows her appointed times, and the turtledove, the swift, and the crane keep the time of their coming; but my people do not know the judgment of the LORD.
