11 When her sprigs have dried up, women coming in will break [them] off, lighting them up.+ For it is not a people of keen understanding.+ That is why its Maker will show it no mercy, and its own Former will show it no favor.+

7 Even the stork in the heavens—it well knows its appointed times;+ and the turtledove+ and the swift and the bulbul—they observe well the time of each one’s coming in. But as for my people, they have not come to know the judgment of Jehovah.”’+

6 My people will certainly be silenced, because there is no knowledge.+ Because the knowledge is what you yourself have rejected,+ I shall also reject you from serving as a priest to me;+ and [because] you keep forgetting the law of your God,*+ I shall forget your sons, even I.+

44 and they will dash you and your children within you to the ground,+ and they will not leave a stone upon a stone+ in you, because you did not discern the time of your being inspected.”+
