Jeremiah 8:10-12
New American Standard Bible
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.
Jeremiah 8:10-12
Common English Bible
10 Therefore, I will give their wives to others
and their fields to their captors.
From the least to the greatest,
all are eager to profit.
From prophet to priest,
all trade in falsehood.
11 They treat the wound of my people
as if it were nothing:
“All is well, all is well,” they insist,
when in fact nothing is well.
12 They should be ashamed
of their detestable practices,
but they have no shame;
they don’t even blush!
Therefore, they will fall among the fallen
and stumble when disaster arrives,
declares the Lord.
