13 “For (A)from the least of them even to the greatest of them,
Everyone is (B)greedy for gain,
And from the prophet even to the priest
Everyone [a]deals falsely.
14 “They have (C)healed the brokenness of My people superficially,
Saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
But there is no peace.
15 “Were they (D)ashamed because of the abomination they have done?
They were not even ashamed at all;
They did not even know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
At the time that I punish them,
They shall be cast down,” says the Lord.
