Jeremiah 8:10-12

Contemporary English Version

Everyone is greedy and dishonest,
    whether poor or rich.
Even the prophets and priests
    cannot be trusted.
^11 (B) All they ever offer
to my deeply wounded people
    are empty hopes for peace.
¹² They should be ashamed
of the way they live,
    but they don't even blush.
And so, when I punish Judah,
they will end up on the ground,
    dead like everyone else.
