Jeremiah 6:13-14
Christian Standard Bible
13 For from the least to the greatest of them,(A)
everyone is making profit dishonestly.(B)
From prophet to priest,
everyone deals falsely.(C)
14 They have treated my people’s brokenness superficially,
claiming, “Peace, peace,”(D)
when there is no peace.
Jeremiah 6:13-14
New English Translation
13 “That is because, from the least important to the most important of them,
all of them are greedy for dishonest gain.
Prophets and priests alike,
all of them practice deceit.
14 They offer only superficial help
for the harm my people have suffered.[a]
They say, ‘Everything will be all right!’
But everything is not all right![b]
