Jeremiah 8:8-9

Sin and Treachery

8 h "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 i The wise men shall be put to shame;
they shall be dismayed j and taken;
behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord,
so what wisdom is in them?
