For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

The verse 13 is found in chapter 6 of Jeremiah. The people have lost the ability to hear the word because their hearts are closed. The phrase “peace, peace” denounces a false tranquility offered by leaders who do not want to confront the wound. The ancient paths are presented as a good way, but the community refuses to walk in them.

Denn sie geizen allesamt, klein und groß; und beide, Propheten und Priester, gehen allesamt mit Lügen um
Porque desde el más chico de ellos hasta el más grande de ellos, cada uno sigue la avaricia; y desde el profeta hasta el sacerdote, todos son engañadores.
Porque desde el menor hasta el mayor, todos buscan ganancias injustas; desde el profeta hasta el sacerdote, todos practican el engaño.
Car depuis le plus petit jusqu'au plus grand, Tous sont avides de gain; Depuis le prophète jusqu'au sacrificateur, Tous usent de tromperie.
Conciossiachè essi tutti, dal maggiore al minore, sieno dati all’avarizia; tutti, e profeti, e sacerdoti, commettono falsità.
Porque desde o menor deles até ao maior, cada um se dá à avareza; e desde o profeta até ao sacerdote, cada um usa de falsidade.
「因為他們從最小的到最大的都貪圖不義之財, 從先知到祭司全都行事虛假。
