6:13“That is because, from the least important to the most important of them,

all of them are greedy for dishonest gain.

Prophets and priests alike,

all of them practice deceit.

6:14They offer only superficial help

for the harm my people have suffered.39

They say, ‘Everything will be all right!’

But everything is not all right!40
