Jeremiah 6:13

An Invasion From The North

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, saith 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 treat also the destruction of the daughter of my people lightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
