Jeremiah 8:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ How can you say that you are wise and that you know my laws? Look, the laws have been changed by dishonest scribes. ⁹ Your wise men are put to shame; they are confused and trapped. They have rejected my words; what wisdom do they have now? ¹⁰ So I will give their fields to new owners and their wives to other men. Everyone, great and small, tries to make money dishonestly. Even prophets and priests cheat the people.
