Jeremiah 8:8-11
English Standard Version
8 (A)“How can you say, ‘We are wise,
and the law of the Lord is with us’?
But behold, the lying pen of the scribes
has made it into a lie.
9 (B)The wise men shall be put to shame;
they shall be dismayed (C)and taken;
behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord,
so what wisdom is in them?
10 (D)Therefore I will give their wives to others
and their fields to conquerors,
because from the least to the greatest
everyone (E)is greedy for unjust gain;
from prophet to priest,
everyone deals falsely.
11 They have healed (F)the wound of my people lightly,
saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
when there is no peace.
