“For from their least even to their greatest, everyone is given to covetousness.From the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely.”
Jeremiah 6:13 (WEB)
Context Reading
11Therefore I am full of Yahweh’s wrath. I am weary with holding it in.“Pour it out on the children in the street,and on the assembly of young men together;for even the husband with the wife will be taken,the aged with him who is full of days. 12Their houses will be turned to others,their fields and their wives together;for I will stretch out my hand on the inhabitants of the land, says Yahweh.” 13“For from their least even to their greatest, everyone is given to covetousness.From the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely. 14They have healed also the hurt of my people superficially,saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ when there is no peace. 15Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?No, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush.Therefore they will fall among those who fall.When I visit them, they will be cast down,” says Yahweh.
