Jeremiah 8:10

Punishment For Judah's Leaders

⁹ The wise men are put to shame. They are dismayed and taken. Lo, they have rejected the word of LORD, and what manner of wisdom is in them? ¹⁰ Therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall possess them. For everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness. From the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely. ¹¹ And they have lightly healed the hurt of the daughter of my people, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
