11 Both prophet and priest are ungodly;
even in my house I have found their wickedness,
says the Lord.(A)
12 Therefore their way shall be to them
like slippery paths in the darkness,
into which they shall be driven and fall,
for I will bring disaster upon them
in the year of their punishment,
says the Lord.(B)
13 In the prophets of Samaria
I saw a disgusting thing:
they prophesied by Baal
and led my people Israel astray.(C)
14 But in the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen a more shocking thing:
they commit adultery and walk in lies;
they strengthen the hands of evildoers,
so that no one turns from wickedness;
all of them have become like Sodom to me
and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.(D)
15 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
I am going to make them eat wormwood
and give them poisoned water to drink,
for from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness has spread throughout the land.(E)

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:
