Jeremiah 6:11-13

New International Reader's Version

The Lord says to me, “Pour out my anger on the children in the street.
    Pour it out on the young men who are gathered together.
Husband and wife alike will be caught in it.
    So will those who are very old.
¹² I will reach out my hand
    against those who live in the land,”
    announces the Lord.
“Then their houses will be turned over to others.
    So will their fields and their wives.
¹³ Everyone wants to get richer and richer,
    from the least important of them to the most important.
Prophets and priests alike
    try to fool everyone they can.
