Jeremiah 8:8-10

The Voice

⁸     How can any of you say, “We are wise, because we have the Eternal’s law”?
        How little you care about the truth!
    A pen in the hand of your teachers drips nothing but lies.
⁹     The day is coming when these so-called wise teachers will be put to shame;
        their lives will be shattered when they are captured and taken away.
    Why will this happen? Because they have rejected and perverted My word.
        Are these the works of wise men?
¹⁰     This is why I will give their wives away to intruders
        and their property to invaders.
    Greed has corrupted this culture, from the least to the greatest:
        everyone is tainted with this lust for what they don’t deserve.
    The prophets and priests are no better.
        Their lives reek with deceit.
