12 (A) I'll punish the people of Judah
    and give to others
their houses and fields,
    as well as their wives.
I, the Lord, have spoken.

13 Everyone is greedy and dishonest,
    whether poor or rich.
Even the prophets and priests
    cannot be trusted.
14 (B) All they ever offer
to my deeply wounded people
    are empty hopes for peace.
15 They should be ashamed
of their disgusting sins,
    but they don't even blush.
And so, when I punish Judah,
they will end up on the ground,
    dead like everyone else.
I, the Lord, have spoken.
