Jeremiah 6:9-13

9Thus says the Lord of hosts, “They will 1thoroughly glean as the vine the 2remnant of Israel; Pass your hand again like a grape gatherer Over the branches.”10To whom shall I speak and give warning That they may hear? Behold, their 3ears are 4closed And they cannot listen. Behold, 5the word of the Lord has become a reproach to them; They have no delight in it.11But I am 6full of the wrath of the Lord; I am 7weary with holding it in. “8Pour it out on the children in the street And on the 9gathering of young men together; For both husband and wife shall be taken, The aged 10and the very old.12Their 11houses shall be turned over to others, Their fields and their wives together; For I will 12stretch out My hand Against the inhabitants of the land,” declares the Lord.13“For 13from the least of them even to the greatest of them, Everyone is 14greedy for gain, And from the prophet even to the priest Everyone 15deals falsely.
