Jeremiah 8:8-9
Modern English Version
8 How do you say, “We are wise,
and the law of the Lord is with us”?
Certainly the lying pen of the scribes
has made it into a lie.
9 The wise men are ashamed;
they are dismayed and caught.
Indeed, they have rejected the word of the Lord,
and what kind of wisdom do they have?
Jeremiah 8:8-9
American Standard Version
8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes hath [a]wrought falsely. 9 The wise men are put to shame, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of Jehovah; and what manner of wisdom is in them?
