Jeremiah 8:10-12
English Standard Version
10 (A)Therefore I will give their wives to others
and their fields to conquerors,
because from the least to the greatest
everyone (B)is greedy for unjust gain;
from prophet to priest,
everyone deals falsely.
11 They have healed (C)the wound of my people lightly,
saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
when there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they committed abomination?
No, (D)they were not at all ashamed;
they did not know how to blush.
(E)Therefore they shall fall among the fallen;
when I punish them, they shall be overthrown,
says the Lord.
Jeremiah 8:10-12
Lexham English Bible
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.
