“Their houses shall be turned over to others,
Their fields and their wives together;
For I will stretch out My hand
Against the inhabitants of the land,” says the Lord.

“For from the least of them even to the greatest of them,
Everyone is greedy for [unfair] gain;
And from the prophet even to the priest
Everyone deals deceitfully.

“They have treated superficially the [bloody] broken wound of My people,
Saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
When there is no peace.
15 
“Were they ashamed because they had committed disgusting and vile things?
No, they were not at all ashamed;
They did not even know how to blush [at their idolatry].
Therefore they will fall among those who fall;
At the time that I punish them
They will be overthrown,” says the Lord.

12 Their houses will be turned over to others,(A)
    together with their fields and their wives,(B)
when I stretch out my hand(C)
    against those who live in the land,”
declares the Lord.
13 “From the least to the greatest,
    all(D) are greedy for gain;(E)
prophets and priests alike,
    all practice deceit.(F)
14 They dress the wound of my people
    as though it were not serious.
‘Peace, peace,’ they say,
    when there is no peace.(G)
15 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
    No, they have no shame at all;
    they do not even know how to blush.(H)
So they will fall among the fallen;
    they will be brought down when I punish(I) them,”
says the Lord.
