Jeremiah 6:13

An Invasion From The North

¹² Their houses shall be turned over to others, their fields and wives together, for I will stretch out my hand against the inhabitants of the land," declares the LORD. ¹³ “For from the least of them even to the greatest of them,
Everyone is greedy for gain,
And from the prophet even to the priest
Everyone deals falsely.
¹⁴ They have healed the wound of my people lightly, saying, 'Peace, peace,' when there is no peace.
