Jeremías 4

Certainement mon peuple est fou, il ne me connaît pas; Ce sont des enfants insensés, dépourvus d’intelligence; Ils sont habiles pour faire le mal, Mais ils ne savent pas faire le bien.

Porque mi pueblo es necio; no me conocieron los hijos ignorantes y los no entendidos; sabios para mal hacer, y para bien hacer no supieron.

For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

“For my people are foolish. They don’t know me. They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but they don’t know how to do good.”
