Jeremiah 8:9-11

Modern English Version

⁹ The wise men are ashamed;
    they are dismayed and caught.
Indeed, they have rejected the word of the Lord,
    and what kind of wisdom do they have?
¹⁰ Therefore I will give their wives to others,
    and their fields to those who shall inherit them.
For everyone from the least even to the greatest
    is given to covetousness;
from the prophet even to the priest
    everyone deals falsely.
¹¹ For they have healed the brokenness
    of the daughter of My people superficially,
saying, “Peace, peace,”
    when there is no peace.
