Jeremiah 8:8-9

New International Version

⁸“‘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?
⁹The 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?

International Standard Version

⁸How can you say, ‘We’re wise,
    and the Law of the Lord is with us,’
when, in fact, the deceitful pen of the scribe has made it
    into something that deceives.
⁹The wise men will be put to shame.
    They’ll be dismayed and taken captive.
Look, they have rejected the message from the Lord!
    So what kind of wisdom do they have?
