Jeremiah 8:10-12
New King James Version
10 Therefore (A)I will give their wives to others,
And their fields to those who will inherit them;
Because from the least even to the greatest
Everyone is given to (B)covetousness;
From the prophet even to the priest
Everyone deals falsely.
11 For they have (C)healed the hurt of the daughter of My people [a]slightly,
Saying, (D)‘Peace, peace!’
When there is no peace.
12 Were they (E)ashamed when they had committed abomination?
No! They were not at all ashamed,
Nor did they know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
In the time of their punishment
They shall be cast down,” says the Lord.

from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

therefore shall they fall among them that fall:
in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the Lord.
