Jeremiah 8:8-12

8HowH349 doH6213 ye sayH559, WeH587 are wiseH2450, and the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 is with usH559? But, beholdH2009, the falseH8267 penH5842 of the scribesH5608 hath wrought falselyH8267.

9The wiseH2450 menH2450 are ashamedH954, they are dismayedH2865 and takenH3920: loH2009, they have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; and whatH4100 mannerH1697 of wisdomH2451 is in them?

10Therefore will I giveH5414 their wivesH802 unto othersH312, and their fieldsH7704 to them that shall possessH3423 them: for everyH3605 one from the least evenH5704 unto the greatestH1419 is givenH5414 to covetousness, from the prophetH5030 evenH5704 unto the priestH3548 everyH3605 one dealeth falselyH8267.

11And they have healedH7495 the hurt of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 lightlyH7043, sayingH559, PeaceH7965, peaceH7965; when there is noH369 peaceH7965.

12Were they ashamedH954 when they had committedH6213 abominationH8441? nay, they were notH3808 at allH3045 ashamedH954, neitherH3808 couldH1571 they blushH3637: therefore shall they fallH5307 among them that fallH5307: in the time of their visitation they shall be castH5307 downH5307, saith the LORDH3068.
