Jeremiah 8:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Shameless in Their Crimes
10 Therefore, I will give their wives to other men,
their fields to new owners.
Small and great alike, all are greedy for gain,
prophet and priest, all practice fraud.(A)
11 They have treated lightly
the injury to the daughter of my people:[a]
“Peace, peace!” they say,
though there is no peace.(B)
12 They have acted shamefully; they have done abominable things,
yet they are not at all ashamed,
they do not know how to blush.
Hence they shall be among those who fall;
in their time of punishment they shall stumble,
says the Lord.(C)
