Jeremiah 6:11-13

EasyEnglish Bible

‘Tell everyone how angry you are!
    Tell the children who play in the streets,
    Tell the young men who meet together.
Include all the men and their wives,
    as well as the old people, and those who are near to death.
¹² I will give their houses to other people to live in.
    Other people will take their fields and their wives.
Yes, I will punish the people who live in this land.’

¹³ ‘They all cheat other people to get what they want.
    Important people and ordinary people do that.
    Prophets and priests do that.
They love to deceive people.
