Jeremiah 8:11-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 They have treated lightly
the injury to the daughter of my people:[a]
“Peace, peace!” they say,
though there is no peace.(A)
12 They have acted shamefully; they have done abominable things,
yet they are not at all ashamed,
they do not know how to blush.
Hence they shall be among those who fall;
in their time of punishment they shall stumble,
says the Lord.(B)
Jeremiah 8:11-12
New International Version
11 They dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious.
“Peace, peace,” they say,
when there is no peace.(A)
12 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
No, they have no shame(B) at all;
they do not even know how to blush.
So they will fall among the fallen;
they will be brought down when they are punished,(C)
says the Lord.(D)
Jeremiah 27:9-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 You, however, must not listen to your prophets,[a] to your diviners and dreamers, to your soothsayers and sorcerers, who say to you, “Do not serve the king of Babylon.”(A) 10 For they prophesy lies to you, so as to drive you far from your land, making me banish you so that you perish.(B)

New International Version
9 So do not listen to your prophets,(A) your diviners,(B) your interpreters of dreams,(C) your mediums(D) or your sorcerers(E) who tell you, ‘You will not serve(F) the king of Babylon.’ 10 They prophesy lies(G) to you that will only serve to remove(H) you far from your lands; I will banish you and you will perish.
