Jeremiah Thinks about Unfaithful Prophets

When I think of the prophets,
I am shocked, and I tremble[a]
    like someone drunk,
because of the Lord
    and his sacred words.
10 Those unfaithful prophets
misuse their power
    all over the country.
So God turned the pasturelands
    into scorching deserts.[b]

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
    in my own temple!
