Jeremiah 6:13-14
New English Translation
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]

Jeremiah 6:13-14
Common English Bible
13 From the least to the greatest,
each is eager to profit;
from prophet to priest,
each trades in dishonesty.
14 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.
