Jeremiah 6:13
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.

Study Note
The indictment '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' diagnoses a systemic social and religious corruption that permeates all levels of Judean society. The repetition of the identical charge against both prophet and priest (repeated verbatim in Jeremiah 8:10) indicates a formulaic condemnation that structures the collection of oracles, emphasizing the universality of the failure. The prophet's role here is classically Weberian — the charismatic critic who stands outside established institutions to expose their internal corruption — a pattern Isaiah, Amos, and Micah share. Ezekiel 22:25-29 and Micah 3:11 develop the same triad of corrupt prophet, priest, and ruler as a signature diagnostic of the pre-exilic collapse.
