Jeremiah 8:8-10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ “How can you say, ‘We are wise,
    and the law of the Lord is with us’?
But behold, the false pen of the scribes
    has made it into a lie.
⁹ The wise men shall be put to shame,
    they shall be dismayed and taken;
lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord,
    and what wisdom is in them?
¹⁰ Therefore I will give their wives to others
    and their fields to conquerors,
because from the least to the greatest
    every one is greedy for unjust gain;
from prophet to priest
    every one deals falsely.
