Jeremiah 23:9-14

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰ For the land is full of adulterers;^(B)
the land mourns^(C) because of the curse,^(D)
and the grazing lands in the wilderness have dried up.
Their way of life^[a] has become evil,
and their power is not rightly used

¹¹ because both prophet and priest are ungodly,^(E)
even in my house^(F) I have found their evil.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
¹² Therefore, their way will seem
like slippery paths in the gloom.^(G)
They will be driven away and fall down there,
for I will bring disaster on them,
the year of their punishment.^(H)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
¹³ Among the prophets of Samaria
I saw something disgusting:
They prophesied by Baal
and led my people Israel astray.^(I)

¹⁴ Among the prophets of Jerusalem also
I saw a horrible thing:^(J)
They commit adultery and walk in lies.
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,
and none turns his back on evil.
They are all like Sodom^(K) to me;
Jerusalem’s residents are like Gomorrah.
