The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 9 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.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
Compare Jeremiah 8:9 in different Bible versions and see how its wording varies between translations. These differences can help you better understand the meaning and context of the passage.
