9 The wise men are disappointed.They are dismayed and trapped.Behold, they have rejected the Lord’s word.What kind of wisdom is in them?
10 Therefore I will give their wives to others,and their fields to those who will possess them.For everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness;from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.
11 They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying,“Peace, peace,” when there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?No, they were not at all ashamed.They couldn’t blush.Therefore they will fall among those who fall.In the time of their visitation they will be cast down, says the Lord.
13 “‘I will utterly consume them, says the Lord.No grapes will be on the vine,no figs on the fig tree,and the leaf will fade.The things that I have given themwill pass away from them.’”
14 “Why do we sit still?Assemble yourselves!Let’s enter into the fortified cities,and let’s be silent there;for the Lord our God has put us to silence,and given us water of gall to drink,because we have sinned against the Lord.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came;and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
