Jeremiah 8:8 - The Message

"’How can you say, "We know the score.
   We’re the proud owners of God’s revelation"?
Look where it’s gotten you—stuck in illusion.
   Your religion experts have taken you for a ride!
Your know-it-alls will be unmasked,
   caught and shown up for what they are.
Look at them! They know everything but God’s Word.
   Do you call that "knowing"?
