10 Therefore I will give their wives to others,
    their fields to conquerors,
because from the smallest to the greatest,
    all of them make profit for unlawful gain,
from prophet to priest,
    all of them practice deceit.
11 And they have treated the wound of the daughter of my people lightly,
    saying,[a] ‘Peace, peace,’ but there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed, for they had committed a detestable thing?
    What’s worse,[b] they were not ashamed at all,
and they did not know to feel humiliated.
    Therefore[c] they will fall among those who fall;
    at the time of their punishment they will stumble,” says Yahweh.
