Jeremiah 8:7-10
New International Version
7 Even the stork in the sky
knows her appointed seasons,
and the dove, the swift and the thrush
observe the time of their migration.
But my people do not know(A)
the requirements of the Lord.
8 “‘How can you say, “We are wise,
for we have the law(B) of the Lord,”
when actually the lying pen of the scribes
has handled it falsely?
9 The wise(C) will be put to shame;
they will be dismayed(D) and trapped.(E)
Since they have rejected the word(F) of the Lord,
what kind of wisdom(G) do they have?
10 Therefore I will give their wives to other men
and their fields to new owners.(H)
From the least to the greatest,
all are greedy for gain;(I)
prophets(J) and priests alike,
all practice deceit.(K)
