Jeremiah 8:10-12
Holman Christian Standard Bible
10 Therefore, I will give(A) their wives to other men,
their fields to new occupants,
for from the least to the greatest,
everyone is making profit dishonestly.
From prophet to priest,
everyone deals falsely.
11 They have treated superficially the brokenness
of My dear[a] people,
claiming, ‘Peace, peace,’
when there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they acted so abhorrently?
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,”(B)
says the Lord.

Jeremiah 8:10-12
International Standard Version
10 Therefore, I’ll give their wives to others,
and their fields to new owners.
Indeed, from the least important to the most important,
they’re all greedy for dishonest gain.
From prophet to priest,
they all act deceitfully.
11 They have treated my people’s[a] wound
superficially, telling them, ‘Peace, peace,’
when there is no peace.
12 Are they ashamed because they have done
what is repugnant to God?[b]
They weren’t ashamed at all;
they don’t even know how to blush!
Therefore they’ll fall with those who fall.
When I punish them, they’ll be brought down,”
says the Lord.
