Jeremiah 8:9 in Context — Jeremiah 8
7 Até a cegonha no céu conhece seus tempos certos, e a rolinha, o grou e a andorinha dão atenção ao tempo de sua vinda; mas meu povo não conhece o juízo do SENHOR.
8 Como, pois, dizeis: Nós somos sábios, e a lei do SENHOR está conosco? Certamente eis que a falsa pena dos escribas tem se feito em mentira.
9 Os sábios serão envergonhados, espantados, e presos; eis que rejeitaram a palavra do SENHOR; que sabedoria, então, eles têm?
10 Por isso darei suas mulheres a outros, [e] suas propriedades a quem as possuam: pois desde o menor até o maior, cada um se enche de avareza, desde o profeta até o sacerdote, todos agem com falsidade.
11 E curam a ferida da filha de meu povo apenas superficialmente, dizendo: Paz, paz; sem que haja paz.
