Good News Bible

Jeremiah 8:8-10 Good News Bible (GNB)

8. How can you say that you are wise, and that you know my laws? Look, the laws have been changed by dishonest scribes.

9. Your wise men are put to shame; they are confused and trapped. They have rejected my words; what wisdom have they got now?

10. So I will give their fields to new owners and their wives to other men. Everyone, great and small, tries to make money dishonestly. Even prophets and priests cheat the people.
