Jeremiah 8:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ How do you say, “We are wise,
    and the law of the Lord is with us”?
Certainly the lying pen of the scribes
    has made it into a lie.
⁹ The wise men are ashamed;
    they are dismayed and caught.
Indeed, they have rejected the word of the Lord,
    and what kind of wisdom do they have?
¹⁰ Therefore I will give their wives to others,
    and their fields to those who shall inherit them.
For everyone from the least even to the greatest
    is given to covetousness;
from the prophet even to the priest
    everyone deals falsely.
