Jeremiah 8:8 "the pen of the scribes is in vain" - mistranslation "lying pen of the scribes"

[Steven Avery]

Jeremiah 8:8 (AV)
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.

You are quoting a mistranslation of the Hebrew 'in vain' idiom. Most all the Jewish translations get this right, and the Geneva and AV also had very learned Hebraists. Modern 'Christian' translations often mangle the OT text.

f you want to be informed on Jeremiah 8:8, here is a good help, but if you are sincere and informed you would have to drop the "lying scribes" attempt.

And I wrote a lot about this c. 2008, I think Will incorporated some of my studies.
