The Pen of the Scribes

I do not see in these Scriptures of Jeremiah 8 (below) that Old Testament scribes wrote falsely to pollute the Holy Bible.

What I do see is that this people of Jerusalem were slidden back by perpetual backsliding, holding fast to deceit, and refusing to return to the righteousness of the Old Testament (Jer.8:5 below). This people of Jerusalem spoke not aright, and no man repented of his wickedness (Jer,8:6 below).

The backsliding, deceitful, unrepented people declared themselves wise saying the law of the LORD is with us. The scribes wrote in vain (Jer.8:8 below) to a people who every one turned to his own course (Jer.8:6 below).

The wise men were ashamed and dismayed (Jer.8:9 below). The backslidden had rejected the word of the LORD written by the scribes.

Jer.8:5 Why [then] is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.

Jer.8:6 I hearkened and heard, [but] they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.

Jer.8:8 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.

Jer.8:9 The wise [men] are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom [is] in them?
