Jeremiah 6:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 For from the least of them, even unto the greatest of them, everyone is given unto covetousness, and from the Prophet even unto the Priest, they all deal falsely.
14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people with sweet words, saying, [a]Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not ashamed, no neither could they have any shame: therefore they shall fall among the [b]slain: when I shall visit them, they shall be cast down, saith the Lord.

Jeremiah 6:13-15
New International Version
13 “From the least to the greatest,
all(A) are greedy for gain;(B)
prophets and priests alike,
all practice deceit.(C)
14 They dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious.
‘Peace, peace,’ they say,
when there is no peace.(D)
15 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
No, they have no shame at all;
they do not even know how to blush.(E)
So they will fall among the fallen;
they will be brought down when I punish(F) them,”
says the Lord.
