13 “Because from the least of them even to the greatest of them,
Everyone is given to (A)covetousness;
And from the prophet even to the (B)priest,
Everyone deals falsely.
14 They have also (C)healed the [a]hurt of My people [b]slightly,
(D)Saying, ‘Peace, peace!’
When there is no peace.
15 Were they (E)ashamed when they had committed abomination?
No! They were not at all ashamed;
Nor did they know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
At the time I punish them,
They shall be cast down,” says the Lord.
