10 Because the land is full of adulterers, because the land hath mourned by reason of cursing, the fields of the desert are dried up: and their course is become evil, and their strength unlike.

11 For the prophet and the priest are defiled: and in my house I have found their wickedness, saith the Lord.

12 Therefore their way shall be as a slippery way in the dark: for they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evils upon them, the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.

10 The land is full of adulterers;(A)
    because of the curse[a](B) the land lies parched
    and the pastures(C) in the wilderness are withered.(D)
The prophets follow an evil course
    and use their power unjustly.

11 “Both prophet and priest are godless;(E)
    even in my temple(F) I find their wickedness,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore their path will become slippery;(G)
    they will be banished to darkness
    and there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them
    in the year they are punished,(H)
declares the Lord.
