Yes, it was so in Jeremiah's day.
It's also so today.
Just replace the word priest
with Christian minister.
And replace the word peace with grace.

Genesis 6:1 ¶And it came to pass, when
men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born
unto them,
2 That
the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they
took them wives of all which they chose.
3 ¶And the LORD said, My spirit
shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days
shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 ¶There
were giants in the earth in those days;
and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of
men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were
of old, men of renown.
5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man
was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil continually.
6 ¶And it repented the LORD that he
had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy
man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast,
and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that
I have made them.
8 ¶But Noah found grace in the eyes
of the LORD.
9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah
was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
How many of you have ever heard
your pastor/teacher teach a lesson about these angels?
They did it before Noah's flood
and again since the flood!
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like
manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange
flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal
fire.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise
dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he
disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing
accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not:
but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt
themselves.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and
ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the
gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast
with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water,
carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice
dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering
stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these,
saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are
ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed,
and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against
him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own
lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons
in admiration because of advantage.
17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before
of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last
time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not
the Spirit.
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy
faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy
of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating
even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to
present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion
and power, both now and ever. Amen.
OK,
it is now time to "grow-up" and mature in the Word of God.

God's
Word is not filled with disclaimers or apologies. He means what He says,
and He says what needs to be said.
If
we are to represent accurately His heart and interests, we must do likewise.
We shoud speak in love, but it must be the truth. Any thing less is bad
medicine.
