10 Therefore I will give their wives to others
    and their fields to those who will possess them.
For everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness;
    from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.
11 They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying,
    “Peace, peace,” when there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?
    No, they were not at all ashamed.
    They couldn’t blush.
Therefore they will fall among those who fall.
    In the time of their visitation they will be cast down, says Yahweh.

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