12And kltheir houses shall be turned unto others, with their lfields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord. 13For mfrom the least of them even unto the greatest of them nevery one is given to covetousness; and ofrom the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. 14They have healed also the †hurt pof the daughter of my people slightly, qsaying, Peace, peace; when rthere is no peace. 15sWere they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, tthey were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: stherefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the Lord.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Their houses shall be turned over to others,

their fields and wives together,

for I will stretch out my hand

against the inhabitants of the land,”

declares the Lord.

“For from the least to the greatest of them,

everyone is greedy for unjust gain;

and from prophet to priest,

everyone deals falsely.

They have healed the wound of my people lightly,

saying, ‘Peace, peace,’

when there is no peace.

Were they ashamed when they committed abomination?

No, they were not at all ashamed;

they did not know how to blush.

Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;

at the time that I punish them, they shall be overthrown,”

says the Lord.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Their houses will be turned over to others,

together with their fields and their wives,

when I stretch out my hand

against those who live in the land,”

declares the Lord.

“From the least to the greatest,

all are greedy for gain;

prophets and priests alike,

all practice deceit.

They dress the wound of my people

as though it were not serious.

‘Peace, peace,’ they say,

when there is no peace.

Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?

No, they have no shame at all;

they do not even know how to blush.

So they will fall among the fallen;

they will be brought down when I punish them,”

says the Lord.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Their houses will be turned over to others,

their fields and wives as well,

for I will stretch out my hand

against the inhabitants of the land.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

For from the least to the greatest of them,

everyone is making profit dishonestly.

From prophet to priest,

everyone deals falsely.

They have treated my people’s brokenness superficially,

claiming, “Peace, peace,”

when there is no peace.

Were they ashamed when they acted so detestably?

They weren’t at all ashamed.

They can no longer feel humiliation.

Therefore, they will fall among the fallen.

When I punish them, they will collapse,

says the Lord.

NLTNew Living Translation

Their homes will be turned over to their enemies,

as will their fields and their wives.

For I will raise my powerful fist

against the people of this land,”

says the Lord.

“From the least to the greatest,

their lives are ruled by greed.

From prophets to priests,

they are all frauds.

They offer superficial treatments

for my people’s mortal wound.

They give assurances of peace

when there is no peace.

Are they ashamed of their disgusting actions?

Not at all—they don’t even know how to blush!

Therefore, they will lie among the slaughtered.

They will be brought down when I punish them,”

says the Lord.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And their houses will be turned over to others,

their fields and their wives together.

For I will stretch out my hand

against the inhabitants of the land,” declares Yahweh.

“For from the smallest of them to the greatest of them,

everyone makes profit for unlawful gain.

And from the prophet to the priest,

everyone practices deceit.

And they have treated the wound of my people lightly,

saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ but there is no peace.

Have they acted ashamed, for they have committed a detestable thing?

Not at all, nor were they ashamed; they did not know to feel humiliated.

Therefore they will fall among those who fall at the time I punish them,

they will stumble,” says Yahweh.
