Jeremiah 8

NET

8 How can you say, “We are wise! We have the law of the Lord”? The truth is, those who teach it have used their writings to make it say what it does not really mean.


Darby

8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? Behold, certainly the lying pen of the scribes hath made it falsehood.


KJV

8 How do ye say, We [are] wise, and the law of the LORD [is] with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he [it]; the pen of the scribes [is] in vain.


KJV Bible Notes

certainly, in vain made he it, the pen of the scribes is in vain: Or, the false pen of the scribes worketh for falsehood.
