Jeremiah 8:10

Punishment For Judah's Leaders

⁹ The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: behold, they have rejected Jehovah's word; and what wisdom is in them? ¹⁰ Therefore will I give their wives unto others, their fields to those that shall possess them; for every one, from the least even unto the greatest, is given to covetousness; from the prophet even unto the priest, every one dealeth falsely. ¹¹ And they have healed the breach of the daughter of my people lightly, saying, Peace, peace! when there is no peace.
