Jeremiah 8:8-10

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁸ “^(A)How can you say, ‘We are wise,
And the law of the Lord is with us’?
But behold, the lying pen of the scribes
Has made it into a lie.
⁹ “The wise men are ^(B)put to shame,
They are dismayed and caught;
Behold, they have ^(C)rejected the word of the Lord,
And what kind of wisdom do they have?
¹⁰ “Therefore I will ^(D)give their wives to others,
Their fields to ^[a]new owners;
Because from the least even to the greatest
Everyone is ^(E)greedy for gain;
From the prophet even to the priest
Everyone practices deceit.
