Jeremiah 6:14-15

Context

6:14 They offer only superficial help

for the harm my people have suffered. 1 

They say, ‘Everything will be all right!’

But everything is not all right! 2 

6:15 Are they ashamed because they have done such shameful things?

No, they are not at all ashamed.

They do not even know how to blush!

So they will die, just like others have died. 3 

They will be brought to ruin when I punish them,”

says the Lord.
