Context Reading
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. 16Yahweh says, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
