Jeremiah 23:11-15
New International Version
11 “Both prophet and priest are godless;(A)
even in my temple(B) I find their wickedness,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore their path will become slippery;(C)
they will be banished to darkness
and there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them
in the year they are punished,(D)”
declares the Lord.
13 “Among the prophets of Samaria
I saw this repulsive thing:
They prophesied by Baal(E)
and led my people Israel astray.(F)
14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen something horrible:(G)
They commit adultery and live a lie.(H)
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,(I)
so that not one of them turns from their wickedness.(J)
They are all like Sodom(K) to me;
the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”(L)
15 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets:
Jeremiah 23:11-15
King James Version
11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord.
12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.
13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
