Jeremiah 6:13

An Invasion From The North

¹² And their houses will be handed over to others, their fields and their wives together: for my hand will be stretched out against the people of the land, says the Lord. ¹³ For from the least of them even to the greatest, everyone is given up to getting money; from the prophet even to the priest, everyone is working deceit. ¹⁴ And they have made little of the wounds of my people, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
