Jeremiah 23:9-14

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ Concerning the prophets:
My heart is broken inside me.
All my bones tremble.
I am like a drunken man,
like a man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord,
and because of his holy words.
¹⁰ Look, the land is full of adulterers.
Because of the curse, the land mourns.
The pastures in the wilderness are dried up.
Their way of life is evil,
and their use of power is unjust.
¹¹ Both prophet and priest are godless.
I have found their wickedness even in my House,
declares the Lord.
¹² Therefore, they will discover that their path
is like slippery places in the darkness.
They will be driven away,
and they will fall there,
because I will bring disaster on them,
the year of their punishment, declares the Lord.
¹³ Among the prophets of Samaria^[a]
I saw something offensive.
They prophesied by Baal
and led my people Israel astray.
¹⁴ Now among the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen something horrifying.
They commit adultery and walk in lies.
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,
so that no one turns away from his wickedness.
They have all become like Sodom to me.
The people who live there are like Gomorrah.
