Bible Reading: Jeremia 8:4-7

Tell them: Thus says the Lord: When someone falls, does he not rise again? if he goes astray, does he not turn back Why do these people rebel with obstinate resistance? Why do they cling to deceptive idols, refuse to turn back? I listen closely; they speak what is not true; no one repents of his wickedness, saying "What have I done!" Everyone keeps on running his course, like a steed dashing into battle. Even the stork in the air knows its seasons; turtledove, swallow and thrush observe their time of return, but my people do not know the ordinance of the Lord.
