10 Therefore, I will give(A) their wives to other men,
their fields to new occupants,
for from the least to the greatest,(B)
everyone is making profit dishonestly.
From prophet to priest,
everyone deals falsely.
11 They have treated the brokenness
of my dear[a] people superficially,
claiming, ‘Peace, peace,’
when there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they acted so detestably?
They weren’t at all ashamed.
They can no longer feel humiliation.
Therefore, they will fall among the fallen.
When I punish them, they will collapse,”(C)
says the Lord.

  1. 8:11 Lit of the daughter of my, also in vv. 19,21,22

10 Therefore I will (A)give their wives to others,
Their fields to new owners;
Because from the least even to the greatest
Everyone is (B)greedy for gain;
From the prophet even to the priest,
Everyone practices deceit.
11 They have (C)healed the brokenness of the daughter of My people superficially,
Saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
But there is no peace.
12 Were they (D)ashamed because of the abomination they had done?
They were not ashamed at all,
And they did not know how to be ashamed;
Therefore they will (E)fall among those who fall;
At the (F)time of their punishment they will collapse,”
Says the Lord.
