They are dismayed and taken.
Behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord;
So bwhat wisdom do they have?

10 Therefore aI will give their wives to others,
And their fields to those who will inherit them;
Because from the least even to the greatest
Everyone is given to bcovetousness;
From the prophet even to the priest
Everyone deals falsely.
And their fields to those who will inherit them;
Because from the least even to the greatest
Everyone is given to bcovetousness;
From the prophet even to the priest
Everyone deals falsely.
11 For they have ahealed the hurt of the daughter of My people1 slightly,
Saying, b‘Peace, peace!’
When there is no peace.
Saying, b‘Peace, peace!’
When there is no peace.
