10 For the land is full of adulterers;
    for the land mourns because of the curse.
    The pleasant places of the wilderness have dried up.
And their course is evil
    and their might is not right.

11 For both prophet and priest are profane;
    indeed, in My house I have found their wickedness,
    says the Lord.
12 Therefore their way will be as slippery ways to them;
    they shall be driven into the darkness
    and fall in it;
for I will bring disaster upon them,
    even the year of their punishment,
    says the Lord.

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.
