11 For they have (A)healed the hurt of the daughter of My people [a]slightly,
Saying, (B)‘Peace, peace!’
When there is no peace.
12 Were they (C)ashamed when they had committed abomination?
No! They were not at all ashamed,
Nor did they know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
In the time of their punishment
They shall be cast down,” says the Lord.

13 “I will surely [b]consume them,” says the Lord.
“No grapes shall be (D)on the vine,
Nor figs on the (E)fig tree,
And the leaf shall fade;
And the things I have given them shall (F)pass away from them.” ’ ”

11 They dress the wound of my people
    as though it were not serious.
“Peace, peace,” they say,
    when there is no peace.(A)
12 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
    No, they have no shame(B) at all;
    they do not even know how to blush.
So they will fall among the fallen;
    they will be brought down when they are punished,(C)
says the Lord.(D)

13 “‘I will take away their harvest,
declares the Lord.
    There will be no grapes on the vine.(E)
There will be no figs(F) on the tree,
    and their leaves will wither.(G)
What I have given them
    will be taken(H) from them.[a]’”
