How can you say, ‘We are wise and the law of Yahweh is with us’?
    Look, surely the lying stylus of the scribes[a] has made it a lie.
The wise will be put to shame,
    they will be dismayed,
    and they will get taken.
Look, they have rejected the word of Yahweh,
    and what is wisdom to them?
10 Therefore I will give their wives to others,
    their fields to conquerors,
because from the smallest to the greatest,
    all of them make profit for unlawful gain,
from prophet to priest,
    all of them practice deceit.
