Jeremiah 8:9

8:9 Your wise men will be put to shame.

They will be dumbfounded and be brought to judgment. ¹ 

Since they have rejected the word of the Lord,

what wisdom do they really have?

Jeremiah 21:6

21:6 I will kill everything living in Jerusalem, ²  people and animals alike! They will die from terrible diseases.

[8:9]  ¹ tn Heb “be trapped.” However, the word “trapped” generally carries with it the connotation of divine judgment. See BDB 540 s.v. לָכַד Niph.2, and compare usage in Jer 6:11 for support. The verbs in the first two lines are again the form of the Hebrew verb that emphasizes that the action is as good as done (Hebrew prophetic perfects).
