Jeremiah 8:8-13 - Punishment For Judah's Leaders
8 How can you say you are wise and that you have Jehovah's Laws? The scribes have used their pens to spread falsehoods. 9 Wise people are put to shame, confused, and trapped. They have rejected the word of Jehovah. They do not really have any wisdom. 10 So I will give their wives to other men. I will give their fields to new owners. From the least even to the greatest everyone is greedy for gain. From the prophet even to the priest everyone is deceitful. 11 They heal the brokenness of the daughter of my people superficially. They say: 'Peace! Peace!' But there is no peace. 12 Were they ashamed because of the abomination they had done? They certainly were not ashamed! And they did not know how to blush. For that reason they will fall among those who fall. At the time of their punishment they will be brought down, Says Jehovah.
13 I will surely snatch them away, declares Jehovah. There will be no grapes on the vine and no figs on the fig tree. The leaf will wither and what I have given them will pass away.'
