Jeremiah 6:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 But the wrath of the Lord brims up within me,
I am weary of holding it in.
I will pour it out upon the child in the street,
upon the young men gathered together.
Yes, husband and wife will be taken,
elder with ancient.(A)
12 Their houses will fall to others,
their fields and their wives as well;
For I will stretch forth my hand
against those who dwell in the land—oracle of the Lord.(B)
13 Small and great alike, all are greedy for gain;
prophet and priest, all practice fraud.(C)
