Jeremiah 8:10-12
Legacy Standard Bible
10 Therefore I will (A)give their wives to others,
Their fields to [a]new possessors,
Because from the least even to the greatest
Everyone is (B)greedy for gain;
From the prophet even to the priest
Everyone practices lying.
11 They (C)heal 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 certainly were not ashamed,
And they did not know how to feel dishonor;
Therefore they shall (E)fall among those who fall;
At the (F)time of their [b]punishment they shall be brought down,”
Says Yahweh.

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.
