Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit 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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 10 is found in chapter 8 of Jeremiah. The scribes and religious leaders possess the law, but use it in a way that does not produce obedience. The statement about the wise being put to shame shows that religious knowledge without faithfulness becomes deception. The threat of poisonous serpents that cannot be charmed expresses the inevitability of judgment.

Darum will ich ihre Weiber den Fremden geben und ihre Äcker denen, die sie verjagen werden. Denn sie geizen allesamt, beide, klein und groß; und beide, Priester und Propheten, gehen mit Lügen um
Por tanto daré a otros sus mujeres, y sus heredades a quien las posea: porque desde el chico hasta el grande cada uno sigue la avaricia, desde el profeta hasta el sacerdote todos hacen engaño.
Por eso daré sus mujeres a otros y sus campos a quienes los posean, porque desde el menor hasta el mayor todos buscan ganancias injustas; desde el profeta hasta el sacerdote todos practican el engaño.
C'est pourquoi je donnerai leurs femmes à d'autres, Et leurs champs à ceux qui les déposséderont. Car depuis le plus petit jusqu'au plus grand, Tous sont avides de gain; Depuis le prophète jusqu'au sacrificateur, Tous usent de tromperie.
Perciò, io darò le lor mogli ad altri, e i lor poderi ad altri possessori; perciocchè tutti, dal maggiore al minore, son dati all’avarizia; tutti, profeti, e sacerdoti, commettono falsità;
Portanto darei suas mulheres a outros, e os seus campos a novos possuidores; porque desde o menor até ao maior, cada um deles se dá à avareza; desde o profeta até ao sacerdote, cada um deles usa de falsidade.
因此,我必將他們的妻子給別人, 將他們的田地給別人為業; 因為他們從最小的到最大的都貪圖不義之財, 從先知到祭司全都行事虛假。
