Jeremiah 8:10-12
Contemporary English Version
10 (A) I'll give their wives and fields
to strangers.
Everyone is greedy and dishonest,
whether poor or rich.
Even the prophets and priests
cannot be trusted.
11 (B) All they ever offer
to my deeply wounded people
are empty hopes for peace.
12 They should be ashamed
of the way they live,
but they don't even blush.
And so, when I punish Judah,
they will end up on the ground,
dead like everyone else.
Jeremiah 8:10-12
New International Version
10 Therefore I will give their wives to other men
and their fields to new owners.(A)
From the least to the greatest,
all are greedy for gain;(B)
prophets(C) and priests alike,
all practice deceit.(D)
11 They dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious.
“Peace, peace,” they say,
when there is no peace.(E)
12 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
No, they have no shame(F) at all;
they do not even know how to blush.
So they will fall among the fallen;
they will be brought down when they are punished,(G)
says the Lord.(H)
