11 They dress the wound of the daughter of my people[a]
    as if it were not serious.
“Peace, peace,” they say,
when there is no peace.
12 Are they ashamed when they do such a detestable thing?

They do not even know how to blush.
That is why they will fall among the fallen.
They will be brought down when I punish them, says the Lord.

13 I will take away their harvest,[b] declares the Lord.
There will be no grapes on the vine.
There will be no figs on the fig tree,
and the leaves will wither.
What I have given them will be taken away from them.
