Jeremiah 8:8

How is it that you say, We are wise and the law of the Lord is with us? But see, the false pen of the scribes has made it false.

He makes the words of responsible persons without effect, and takes away the good sense of the old;

He makes his word clear to Jacob, teaching Israel his laws and his decisions.

Children's children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their fathers.

Though I put my law in writing for him in ten thousand rules, they are to him as a strange thing.

There is no need for him to give honour to his father. And you have made the word of God without effect because of your teaching.

Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.

Let no man have a false idea. If any man seems to himself to be wise among you, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise.
