The wise men will be put to shame—
        shattered, trapped.
    Look! They have rejected Adonai’s word,
        so what wisdom do they have?
10 Therefore I will give their wives to others
        and their fields to new owners.
    For from the least to the greatest
        everyone is greedy for gain.
    From the prophet even to the kohen
        everyone practices deceit.
11 They heal the fracture of the daughter of My people
    by treating it superficially—
        saying, ‘Shalom, shalom,’
        when there is no shalom.
