Jeremiah 8:10

Punishment For Judah's Leaders

⁹ Ashamed are the wise, dismayed and captured! Lo! the word of Yahweh, have they rejected, And, what wisdom, have, they? ¹⁰ Therefore, will I give - Their wives to others, Their fields to such as shall take possession of them, For from the least, even unto the greatest, Every one, is, wholly given to extortion: From the prophet even unto the priest, Every one, dealeth, falsely. ¹¹ And so they have healed the grievous wound of the daughter of my people, slightly, - Saying, Peace! peace! when there was no peace!
