12 Their houses will be turned over to others,(A)
    together with their fields and their wives,(B)
when I stretch out my hand(C)
    against those who live in the land,”
declares the Lord.
13 “From the least to the greatest,
    all(D) are greedy for gain;(E)
prophets and priests alike,
    all practice deceit.(F)
14 They dress the wound of my people
    as though it were not serious.
‘Peace, peace,’ they say,
    when there is no peace.(G)
15 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
    No, they have no shame at all;
    they do not even know how to blush.(H)
So they will fall among the fallen;
    they will be brought down when I punish(I) them,”
says the Lord.
