11 And they healed the breach of the daughter of my people disgracefully, saying Peace, peace: when there was no peace.

12 They are confounded, because they have committed abomination: yea rather they are not confounded with confusion, and they have not know how to blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall; in the time of their visitation they shall fall, saith the Lord.

13 Gathering I will gather them together, saith the Lord, there is no grape on the vines, and there are no figs on the fig tree, the leaf is fallen: and I have given them the things that are passed away.

11 They dress the wound of my people
    as though it were not serious.
“Peace, peace,” they say,
    when there is no peace.(A)
12 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
    No, they have no shame(B) 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,(C)
says the Lord.(D)

13 “‘I will take away their harvest,
declares the Lord.
    There will be no grapes on the vine.(E)
There will be no figs(F) on the tree,
    and their leaves will wither.(G)
What I have given them
    will be taken(H) from them.[a]’”
