Jeremiah 8:11 In-Context

9 The wise men are put to shame, they are dismayed and taken: behold, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what manner of wisdom is in them?

10 Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall possess them: for everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the Kohen every one deals falsely.

11 They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Shalom, shalom; when there is no shalom.

12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among those who fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says the LORD.

13 I will utterly consume them, says the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and [the things that] I have given them shall pass away from them.
