10 For the land is full of adulterers;
    for because of the curse the land mourns.
The pastures of the wilderness have dried up.
    Their course is evil,
    and their might is not right;
11 for both prophet and priest are profane.
    Yes, in my house I have found their wickedness,” says Yahweh.
12 Therefore their way will be to them as slippery places in the darkness.
    They will be driven on,
    and fall therein;
for I will bring evil on them,
    even the year of their visitation,” says Yahweh.

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.
