Fields and wives together;
For I will stretch out My hand
Against the inhabitants of the land,” says the Lord.
Everyone is given to acovetousness;
And from the prophet even to the bpriest,
Everyone deals falsely.
bSaying, ‘Peace, peace!’
When there is no peace.
No! They were not at all ashamed;
Nor did they know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
At the time I punish them,
They shall be cast down,” says the Lord.
“Stand in the ways and see,
And ask for the aold paths, where the good way is,
And walk in it;
Then you will find brest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
b‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’
But they said, ‘We will not listen.’
