Jeremiah 8:10
“Therefore I will give their wives to others, Their fields to new owners; Because from the least even to the greatest Everyone is greedy for gain; From the prophet even to the priest Everyone practices deceit.”
NASB1995
Were women considered to be more like property (like fields) in the times of this prophecy? Why would God decree that He would give men’s wives to others because of their husbands’ sin? It seems like this is a punishment to the men, are there other interpretations?
