Jeremiah 8:9-11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ The wise men shall be put to shame,
    they shall be dismayed and taken;
lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord,
    and what wisdom is in them?
¹⁰ Therefore I will give their wives to others
    and their fields to conquerors,
because from the least to the greatest
    every one is greedy for unjust gain;
from prophet to priest
    every one deals falsely.
¹¹ They have healed the wound of my people lightly,
    saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
    when there is no peace.
