Jeremiah 8:8-12

8:8

How do ye say
<0559> (8799)_,

We [are] wise
<02450>_,

and the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] with us? Lo, certainly
<0403>

in vain
<08267>

made
<06213> (8804)

he [it]; the pen
<05842>

of the scribes
<05608> (8802)

[is] in vain
<08267>_.

{in vain made...: or, the false pen of the scribes worketh for falsehood}

8:9

The wise
<02450>

[men] are ashamed
<03001> (8689)_,

they are dismayed
<02865> (8804)

and taken
<03920> (8735)_:

lo, they have rejected
<03988> (8804)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

and what wisdom
<02451>

[is] in them? {The wise...: or, Have they been ashamed, etc} {what...: Heb. the wisdom of what thing}

8:10

Therefore will I give
<05414> (8799)

their wives
<0802>

unto others
<0312>_,

[and] their fields
<07704>

to them that shall inherit
<03423> (8802)

[them]: for every one from the least
<06996>

even unto the greatest
<01419>

is given
<01214> (8802)

to covetousness
<01215>_,

from the prophet
<05030>

even unto the priest
<03548>

every one dealeth
<06213> (8802)

falsely
<08267>_.

8:11

For they have healed
<07495> (8762)

the hurt
<07667>

of the daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>

slightly
<07043> (8738)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Peace
<07965>_,

peace
<07965>_;

when [there is] no peace
<07965>_.

8:12

Were they ashamed
<03001> (8689)

when they had committed
<06213> (8804)

abomination
<08441>_?

nay, they were not at all
<0954> (8800)

ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,

neither could
<03045> (8804)

they blush
<03637> (8736)_:

therefore shall they fall
<05307> (8799)

among them that fall
<05307> (8802)_:

in the time
<06256>

of their visitation
<06486>

they shall be cast down
<03782> (8735)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{I will...: or, In gathering I will consume}
