Jeremiah 23:14-16

Contemporary English Version

^14 (A) And you prophets in Jerusalem
    are even worse.
You're unfaithful in marriage^[a]
    and never tell the truth.^[b]
You even lead others to sin
instead of helping them
    turn back to me.
You and the people of Jerusalem
are evil like Sodom
    and Gomorrah.^[c]
15 You prophets in Jerusalem
    have spread evil everywhere.
That's why I, the Lord, promise
to give you bitter poison
    to eat and drink.

¹⁶ Don't listen to the lies
of these false prophets,
    you people of Judah!
The message they preach
    is something they imagined;
it did not come from me,
    the Lord All-Powerful.
