13 “Indeed, from the least important to the most important,
    they’re all greedy for dishonest gain.
From prophet to priest,
    they all act deceitfully.

    ‘Peace, peace,’ but there is no peace.
15 Were they ashamed because they did

    When I punish them, they’ll be brought down,”
        says the Lord.

‘Peace, peace,’ they say,
    when there is no peace.(D)
15 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
    No, they have no shame at all;
    they do not even know how to blush.(E)
So they will fall among the fallen;
    they will be brought down when I punish(F) them,”
says the Lord.
