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
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.
