Jeremiah 8:8-9
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?

since they have rejected the word of the Lord,
what wisdom is in them?(B)
