Context of Jeremiah 6:12
10“To whom can I speak and warn so they would hear? See, their ears are uncircumcised, unable to hear! The word of Adonai has become scorn to them. They have no delight in it. 11So I am full of the wrath of Adonai. I am weary of holding it in! Pour it out on a child in the street, on young men gathered together. For husband will be taken with wife, the aged with the very old. Their homes will be turned over to others—together with their fields and their wives. For I will stretch out My hand on the inhabitants of the land.” It is a declaration of Adonai. 13“For from the least to the greatest, all of them are greedy for gain, and from prophet even to kohen, everyone practices deceit. 14They healed the wound of My people superficially, saying ‘Shalom, shalom!’ when there is no shalom.”
