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?

8 How can you say, “We are wise;
we possess the Lord’s Instruction,”
when the lying pen of the scribes has surely distorted it?
9 The wise will be shamed and shocked
when they are caught.
Look, they have rejected the Lord’s word;
what kind of wisdom is that?
