Holy Scripture
Jeremiah 8:9
A church father on this verse
“(Verse 9) The wise are confused, terrified and captured. For they have rejected the word of the Lord, and there is no wisdom in them. Not because they are wise who do these things; but rather, He calls the wise so that they may be condemned under judgment and their wisdom may be proven foolishness, as the Apostle Paul…”

Original
9The wise men are ashamed, and alarmed, and taken; because they have rejected the word of the Lord; what wisdom is there in them?

In context
7Yea, the stork in the heaven knows her time, also the turtledove and wild swallow; the sparrows observe the times of their coming in; but this my people knows not the judgments of the Lord.
8How will ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? In vain have the scribes used a false pen.
— Jeremiah 8:9 —
10Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to new inheritors; and they shall gather their fruits, saith the Lord.
