Jeremiah 2:8 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 8 The priests did not ask, ‘Where is Jehovah?’+ Those handling the Law did not know me,The shepherds rebelled against me,+The prophets prophesied by Baʹal,+And they followed those who could bring no benefit. Jeremiah 8:9 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 9 The wise have been put to shame.+ They have become terrified and will be caught. Look! They have rejected the word of Jehovah,And what wisdom do they have?
