Jeremiah 8:8-9
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,(B)
so what wisdom do they really have?
Jeremiah 8:8-9
New American Standard Bible
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 The wise men are (B)put to shame,
They are dismayed and caught;
Behold, they have (C)rejected the word of the Lord,
So what kind of wisdom do they have?
