Jeremiah 8:11 In-Context

9 The wise are put to shame, alarmed, entrapped. They have rejected the word of ADONAI, so what wisdom do they have?

10 "'Therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who take them over; for from the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gains; prophets and cohanim alike all practice fraud

11 they dress the wound of the daughter of my people, but only superficially, saying, "There is perfect shalom," when there is no shalom.

12 They should be ashamed of their detestable deeds, but they are not ashamed at all, they don't know how to blush. So when others fall, they too will fall; when I punish them, they will stumble,' says ADONAI.

13 "'I will put an end to them,' says ADONAI. 'There are no grapes on the vine, and no figs on the fig tree; the leaf has withered; and what I have given them will pass from their possession.'"
