8“1HowH351 can you sayH559, ‘We are wiseH2450, And the LawH8451 of the LordH3068 is with us’? But beholdH2009, the lyingH8267 penH5842 of the scribesH5613 Has madeH6213 it into a lieH8267.9The wiseH2450 menH2450 are 2putH954 toH954 shameH954, They are dismayedH2865 and caughtH3920; BeholdH2009, they have 3rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, So whatH4100 kind of wisdomH2451 do they have?10ThereforeH3651 I will 4giveH5414 their wivesH802 to othersH312, Their fieldsH7704 to new ownersH3423; BecauseH3588 from the leastH6996 even to the greatestH1419 EveryoneH3605 is 5greedyH1214 for gainH1215; From the prophetH5030 even to the priestH3548, EveryoneH3605 practicesH6213 deceitH8267.11They have 6healedH7495 the brokennessH7667 of the daughterH1323 of My peopleH5971 superficiallyH5921H7043, SayingH559, ‘PeaceH7965, peaceH7965,’ But thereH369 isH369 noH369 peaceH7965.12WereH954 they 7ashamedH954 becauseH3588 of the abominationH8441 they had doneH6213? They wereH954 not ashamedH954 atH1571 allH954H1571, And they did not knowH3045 how to be ashamedH3637; ThereforeH3651 they will 8fallH5307 among those who fallH5307; At the 9timeH6256 of their punishmentH6486 they will collapseH3782,” SaysH559 the LordH3068.
