Jeremiah 8:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ I will give their wives to other men.
    I will give their fields to new owners.
Everyone wants to get richer and richer.
    Everyone is greedy, from the least important to the most important.
Prophets and priests alike
    try to fool everyone they can.
¹¹ They bandage the wounds of my people
    as if they were not very deep.
‘Peace, peace,’ they say.
    But there isn’t any peace.
¹² Are they ashamed of their hateful actions?
    No. They do not feel any shame at all.
    They do not even know how to blush.
So they will fall like others who have already fallen.
    They will be brought down when I punish them,”
    says the Lord.
