Jeremiah 6:14

Read in context

Jeremiah 6:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 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,” declares the LORD.

13 “For from the least of them to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; from prophet to priest, all practice deceit.

14 They dress the wound of My people with very little care, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace at all.

15 Are they ashamed of the abomination they have committed? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; when I punish them, they will collapse,” says the LORD.

16 This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look. Ask for the ancient paths: ‘Where is the good way?’ Then walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it!’
