Jeremiah 6:6-13 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

6. For thus has the LORD of hosts said,

7. As a fountain casts out her waters, so she casts out her wickedness: violence and plundering are heard in her; before me continually are grief and wounds.

8. Be you instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from you; lest I make you desolate, a land not inhabited.

9. Thus says the LORD of hosts,

10. To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

11. Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in:

12. And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land,

13. For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them everyone is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest everyone deals falsely.
