“‘How can you say, “We are wise,
    for we have the law(A) of the Lord,”
when actually the lying pen of the scribes
    has handled it falsely?
The wise(B) will be put to shame;
    they will be dismayed(C) and trapped.(D)
Since they have rejected the word(E) of the Lord,
    what kind of wisdom(F) do they have?
10 Therefore I will give their wives to other men
    and their fields to new owners.(G)
From the least to the greatest,
    all are greedy for gain;(H)
prophets(I) and priests alike,
    all practice deceit.(J)
11 They dress the wound of my people
    as though it were not serious.
“Peace, peace,” they say,
    when there is no peace.(K)
12 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
    No, they have no shame(L) at all;
    they do not even know how to blush.
So they will fall among the fallen;
    they will be brought down when they are punished,(M)
says the Lord.(N)
