Jeremiah 8:9-11

International Children’s Bible

⁹ These wise men refused to listen to the word of the Lord.
    So they are not really wise at all.
They will be ashamed.
    They will be shocked and trapped.
¹⁰ So I will give their wives to other men.
    I will give their fields to new owners.
Everyone, from the least important to the greatest,
    is greedy for money.
Even the prophets and priests
    all tell lies.
¹¹ They try to heal my people’s serious injuries
    as if they were small wounds.
They say, “It’s all right, it’s all right!”
    But really, it is not all right.
