Jeremiah 6:12 in context

  1. 10To whom should I speak and testify, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can’t listen. Behold, Yahweh’s word has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it.
  2. 11Therefore I am full of Yahweh’s wrath. I am weary with holding it in.
    “Pour it out on the children in the street,
    and on the assembly of young men together;
    for even the husband with the wife will be taken,
    the aged with him who is full of days.
  3. 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.”
  4. 13“For from their least even to their greatest, everyone is given to covetousness.
    From the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely.
  5. 14They have healed also the hurt of my people superficially,
    saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ when there is no peace.
