12 Their houses shall be turned to others,with their fields and wives together;for I will stretch out My handupon the inhabitants of the land,says the Lord.
13 For from the least of them even to the greatest of them,everyone is given to covetousness.And from the prophet even to the priest,everyone deals falsely.
14 They have healed also the brokennessof the daughter of My people superficially,saying, “Peace, peace,”when there is no peace.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?They were not at all ashamed,nor could they blush.Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;at the time that I punish them they shall be cast down,says the Lord.
16 Thus says the Lord Stand in the ways and see,and ask for the old pathswhere the good way is and walk in it,and you shall find rest for your souls.But they said, “We will not walk in it.”
17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying,“Listen to the sound of the trumpet.”But they said, “We will not listen.”
18 Therefore hear, O nations,and know, O congregation,what is among them.
