¹³ “I saw the prophets of Samaria [^Ccapital of the northern kingdom destroyed in 722 bc]
    do something ·wrong [disgusting].
Those prophets prophesied by Baal
    and led my people Israel away [Deut. 13:1–5].
¹⁴ And I have seen the prophets of Jerusalem
    do ·terrible [shocking] things.
They are guilty of adultery
    and ·live [walk] by lies.
They ·encourage [strengthen] ·evil people to keep on doing evil [^Lthe hands of evildoers],
    so the people don’t ·stop sinning [^Lturn back from their evil].
All of those people are like the city of Sodom.
    The people of Jerusalem are like the city of Gomorrah to me [^Csinful and soon to be punished; Gen. 18–19]!”

“I will make those prophets eat ·bitter food [^Lwormwood; ^Cthe bitter tasting leaves of a shrub; 9:15]
    and drink poisoned water,
because the prophets of Jerusalem spread ·wickedness [godlessness]
    through the whole country.”
