Jeremiah 8:9-11
International Standard Version
9 The wise men will be put to shame.
They’ll be dismayed and taken captive.
Look, they have rejected the message from the Lord!
So what kind of wisdom do they have?
10 Therefore, I’ll give their wives to others,
and their fields to new owners.
Indeed, from the least important to the most important,
they’re all greedy for dishonest gain.
From prophet to priest,
they all act deceitfully.
11 They have treated my people’s[a] wound
superficially, telling them, ‘Peace, peace,’
when there is no peace.
