11 And they have treated the wound of the daughter of my people lightly,
    saying,[a] ‘Peace, peace,’ but there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed, for they had committed a detestable thing?

    and there are no figs on the fig tree,
and the leaves wither,
    and what I gave to them passed over them.”’”
