Jeremiah 8:11 in context

1. 9The wise men are disappointed.
   They are dismayed and trapped.
   Behold, they have rejected Yahweh’s word.
   What kind of wisdom is in them?
2. 10Therefore 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.
3. 11They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying,
   “Peace, peace,” when there is no peace.
4. 12Were 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 Yahweh.
5. 13“ ‘I will utterly consume them, says Yahweh.
   No grapes will be on the vine,
   no figs on the fig tree,
   and the leaf will fade.
   The things that I have given them
   will pass away from them.’ ”
