Jeremiah

Jeremiah 6:13–15

¹³“For from the least of them to the greatest,

all are greedy for gain;

from prophet to priest,

all practice deceit.

¹⁴They dress the wound of My people

with very little care,

saying, ‘Peace, peace,’

when there is no peace at all.

¹⁵Are they ashamed of the abomination they have committed?

No, they have no shame at all;

they do not even know how to blush.

So they will fall among the fallen;

when I punish them, they will collapse,”

says the LORD.
