Jeremiah 23:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 But the Lord liveth, which brought up and led the seed of the house of Israel out of the North country, and from all countries where I had scattered them, and they shall dwell in their own land.
9 Mine heart breaketh within me, because of the [a]prophets, all my bones shake: I am like a drunken man (and like a man whom wine hath [b]overcome) for the presence of the Lord and for his holy words.
10 For the land is full of adulterers, and because of oaths the land mourneth, the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their [c]course is evil, and their force is not right.
