Jeremiah 8:8-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Punishment for Judah’s Leaders
8 “How can you claim, ‘We are wise;
the law of the Lord is with us’?
In fact, the lying pen of scribes(A)
has produced falsehood.
9 The wise will be put to shame;
they will be dismayed and snared.
They have rejected the word of the Lord,
so what wisdom do they really have?
Jeremiah 8:8-9
International Standard Version
8 How can you say, ‘We’re wise,
and the Law of the Lord is with us,’
when, in fact, the deceitful pen of the scribe has made it
into something that deceives.
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?
Jeremiah 8:8-9
