Jeremiah 6:12-15
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 6:12-15
Contemporary English Version
12 (A) I'll punish the people of Judah
and give to others
their houses and fields,
as well as their wives.
I, the Lord, have spoken.
13 Everyone is greedy and dishonest,
whether poor or rich.
Even the prophets and priests
cannot be trusted.
14 (B) All they ever offer
to my deeply wounded people
are empty hopes for peace.
15 They should be ashamed
of their disgusting sins,
but they don't even blush.
And so, when I punish Judah,
they will end up on the ground,
dead like everyone else.
I, the Lord, have spoken.

Jeremiah 6:12-15
New International Version
12 Their houses will be turned over to others,(A)
together with their fields and their wives,(B)
when I stretch out my hand(C)
against those who live in the land,”
declares the Lord.
13 “From the least to the greatest,
all(D) are greedy for gain;(E)
prophets and priests alike,
all practice deceit.(F)
14 They dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious.
‘Peace, peace,’ they say,
when there is no peace.(G)
15 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
No, they have no shame at all;
they do not even know how to blush.(H)
So they will fall among the fallen;
they will be brought down when I punish(I) them,”
says the Lord.
