Parents and children will stumble and fall to their destruction.

Friends and neighbors will die.’

Jeremiah 8:8-9

8:8 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

They will be dumbfounded and be brought to judgment.

Since they have rejected the word of the Lord,

what wisdom do they really have?

They will raise up shouts of victory over it.’
