Jeremiah 8:8-9
New Living Translation

8 “‘How can you say, “We are wise because we have the word of the Lord,”
    when your teachers have twisted it by writing lies?
9 These wise teachers will fall
    into the trap of their own foolishness,
for they have rejected the word of the Lord.
    Are they so wise after all?

Jeremiah 8:8-9
Common English Bible

8 How can you say, “We are wise;
    we possess the Lord’s Instruction,”
        when the lying pen of the scribes has surely distorted it?
9 The wise will be shamed and shocked
    when they are caught.
Look, they have rejected the Lord’s word;
    what kind of wisdom is that?
