Jeremías 4

Ja, thöricht ist mein Volk: mich kennen sie nicht; alberne Söhne sind sie und ohne Einsicht sind sie. Weise sind sie, Böses zu thun, aber Gutes zu thun verstehen sie nicht.

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.”
