10. Therefore, I will give their wives to other men,their fields to new occupants,for from the least to the greatest, everyone is making profit dishonestly.From prophet to priest,everyone deals falsely.
11. They have treated superficially the brokennessof My dear people,claiming, ‘Peace, peace,’when there is no peace.
12. Were they ashamed when they acted so abhorrently?They weren’t at all ashamed.They can no longer feel humiliation.Therefore, they will fall among the fallen.When I punish them, they will collapse,” says the Lord.
13. I will gather them and bring them to an end. This is the Lord’s declaration.There will be no grapes on the vine,no figs on the fig tree,and even the leaf will wither.Whatever I have given them will be lost to them.
14. Why are we just sitting here?Gather together; let us enter the fortified citiesand perish there, for the Lord our God has destroyed us.He has given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against the Lord.
