Jeremiah 6:9-15

New American Standard Bible

⁹ This is what the Lord of armies says:
“They will ^(A)thoroughly glean the ^(B)remnant of Israel like the vine;
Pass your hand over the branches again
Like a grape gatherer.”
¹⁰ To whom shall I speak and give warning,
That they may hear?
Behold, their ^(C)ears are ^[a]closed
And they cannot listen.
Behold, ^(D)the word of the Lord has become for them a rebuke;
They take no delight in it.
¹¹ But I am ^(E)full of the wrath of the Lord;
I am ^(F)weary of holding it in.
“^(G)Pour it out on the children in the street
And on the ^[b]gathering of young men together;
For both husband and wife shall be taken,
The old ^[c]and the very old.
¹² Their ^(H)houses shall be turned over to others,
Their fields and their wives together;
For I will ^(I)stretch out My hand
Against the inhabitants of the land,” declares the Lord.
¹³ “For ^(J)from the least of them to the greatest of them,
Everyone is ^(K)greedy for gain,
And from the prophet to the priest
Everyone deals falsely.
¹⁴ They have ^(L)healed the brokenness of My people superficially,
Saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
But there is no peace.
¹⁵ Were they ^(M)ashamed because of the abomination they had done?
They were not ashamed at all,
Nor did they know even how to be ashamed.
Therefore they will fall among those who fall;
At the time that I punish them,
They will collapse,” says the Lord.
