Jeremiah 8:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ You say, “We are wise
because we have the teachings
    and laws of the Lord.”
But I say that your teachers
have turned my words
    into lies!
⁹ Your wise men
have rejected what I say,
    and so they have no wisdom.
Now they will be trapped
and put to shame;
    they won't know what to do.
^10 (A) I'll give their wives and fields
    to strangers.
