10 I will give their wives to other men.
    Their fields will belong to other men.
They all cheat other people to get what they want.
    Important people and ordinary people do that.
    Prophets and priests do that.
They love to deceive people.
11 They tell my dear people that their wounds are not bad.
They say to them,
    “No problem! You will have peace.”
But there will be no peace for my people.
12 They are not ashamed of the disgusting things that they do.
    They do not even know what shame is.
    They have forgotten how to be ashamed.
So they will fall to the ground,
    as other people have fallen.
When I punish them,
    that will be the end of them.’

That is what the Lord says.

    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)
