Jeremiah 6:13-15
New English Translation
Jeremiah 6:13-15
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]
15 Are they ashamed because they have done such shameful things?
No, they are not at all ashamed.
They do not even know how to blush!
So they will die, just like others have died.[c]
They will be brought to ruin when I punish them,”
says the Lord.
