Jeremiah 6:13

An Invasion From The North

¹² And their houses shall be turned unto others, their fields and wives together; for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah. ¹³ For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them, every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest, every one dealeth falsely. ¹⁴ And they have healed the breach of the daughter of my people lightly, saying, Peace, peace! when there is no peace.
