12 And (A)their houses shall be turned over to others,
Fields and wives together;

Everyone is given to (B)covetousness;
And from the prophet even to the (C)priest,
Everyone deals falsely.
14 They have also (D)healed the [a]hurt of My people [b]slightly,
(E)Saying, ‘Peace, peace!’
When there is no peace.
