Jeremiah 8:9-11
GOD’S WORD Translation
Jeremiah 8:9-11
GOD’S WORD Translation
9 Wise people are put to shame, confused, and trapped.
They have rejected the Lord’s word.
They don’t really have any wisdom.
10 That is why I will give their wives to other men
and their fields to new owners.
All of them, from the least important to the most important,
are eager to make money dishonestly.
All of them, from prophets to priests, act deceitfully.
11 They treat my dear people’s wounds
as though they were not serious, saying,
“Everything is alright! Everything is alright!”
But it’s not alright.
Jeremiah 8:9-11
New International Version
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)
