Scripture focus

12. And their houses shall be turned unto others, [with their] fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD. 13. 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. 14. They have healed also the hurt [of the daughter] of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when [there is] no peace. 15. Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time [that] I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.

Turned unto others. All the things that the people held dear would be transferred to strangers. Verses 12-15 are closely parallel with ch. 8:10-12 (see Deut. 28:30).
