and their fields to conquerors,

from prophet to priest,

everyone deals falsely.

prophets and priests alike,

all practice deceit.

their fields to new occupants,

for from the least to the greatest,

From prophet to priest,

everyone deals falsely.

and their farms to strangers.

From the least to the greatest,

their lives are ruled by greed.

They are all frauds.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Therefore I will give their wives to others,

their fields to conquerors,

because from the smallest to the greatest,

all of them make profit for unlawful gain,

from prophet to priest,

all of them practice deceit.

Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
