Punishment For Judah's Leaders
10 So I will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners. For from the least important to the most important of them, all of them are greedy for dishonest gain. Prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. 11 They offer only superficial help for the hurt my dear people have suffered. They say, "Everything will be all right!" But everything is not all right! 12 Are they ashamed because they have done such disgusting things? No, they are not at all ashamed! They do not even know how to blush! So they will die just like others have died. They will be brought to ruin when I punish them, says the Lord.
