Jeremiah 8:9-11
Wycliffe Bible
9 [The] Wise men be shamed, they be made afeared and taken. For they cast away the word of the Lord, and no wisdom is in them.
10 Therefore I shall give the women of them to strangers, and the fields of them to alien heirs; for from the least unto the most all follow avarice, from a prophet unto the priest all make leasing; (And so I shall give their women to strangers, and their fields to foreign heirs; for from the least unto the most all follow avarice, or greed, from the prophet to the priest all make lies, or deception;)
11 and they healed the sorrow of the daughter of my people to (their) shame, saying, Peace, peace, when no peace was. (and they tried to heal the sorrow of the daughter of my people with shallow words, by simply saying, Peace, peace, when there was no peace.)

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)
