Jeremiah 8:9-11
Common English Bible
9 The wise will be shamed and shocked
when they are caught.
Look, they have rejected the Lord’s word;
what kind of wisdom is that?
10 Therefore, I will give their wives to others
and their fields to their captors.
From the least to the greatest,
all are eager to profit.
From prophet to priest,
all trade in falsehood.
11 They treat the wound of my people
as if it were nothing:
“All is well, all is well,” they insist,
when in fact nothing is well.
Jeremiah 8:9-11
New International Version
Jeremiah 8:9-11
New International Version
9 The wise(A) will be put to shame;
they will be dismayed(B) and trapped.(C)
Since they have rejected the word(D) of the Lord,
what kind of wisdom(E) do they have?
10 Therefore I will give their wives to other men
and their fields to new owners.(F)
From the least to the greatest,
all are greedy for gain;(G)
prophets(H) and priests alike,
all practice deceit.(I)
11 They dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious.
“Peace, peace,” they say,
when there is no peace.(J)
