Jeremiah 8:10-12
New Living Translation
10 I will give their wives to others
and their farms to strangers.
From the least to the greatest,
their lives are ruled by greed.
Yes, even my prophets and priests are like that.
They are all frauds.
11 They offer superficial treatments
for my people’s mortal wound.
They give assurances of peace
when there is no peace.
12 Are they ashamed of these disgusting actions?
Not at all—they don’t even know how to blush!
Therefore, they will lie among the slaughtered.
They will be brought down when I punish them,
says the Lord.
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.
