10 (A) I'll give their wives and fields
    to strangers.

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.

10 Therefore I will give their wives to other men

    when there is no peace.(E)
12 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?

    they will be brought down when they are punished,(G)
says the Lord.(H)
