10 Those unfaithful prophets
misuse their power
    all over the country.
So God turned the pasturelands
    into scorching deserts.[a]

The Lord Will Punish Unfaithful Prophets

11 The Lord told me to say:

You prophets and priests
think so little of me, the Lord,
    that you even sin

12 Now I will punish you
    with disaster,
and you will slip and fall
    in the darkness.
I, the Lord, have spoken.
