Jeremiah 23:10-14

10For the landH776 is fullH4390 of adulterersH5003; for because of swearing the landH776 mourneth; the pastures of the wildernessH4057 are driedH3001 up. And their courseH4794 is evilH7451, and their might is not rightH3651; 11for both prophetH5030 and priestH3548 are profane; yea, in my houseH1004 have I foundH4672 their wickednessH7451, saith Jehovah. 12Wherefore their wayH1870 shall beH1961 unto them as slipperyH2519 places in the darknessH653: they shall beH1961 driven on, and fallH5307 therein; for I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon them, even the yearH8141 of their visitation, saith Jehovah.

13And I have seenH7200 folly in the prophetsH5030 of SamariaH8111; they prophesiedH5012 by BaalH1168, and caused my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to errH8582. 14In the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 also I have seenH7200 a horrible thing: they commitH5003 adulteryH5003, and walkH1980 in liesH8267; and they strengthenH2388 the handsH3027 of evil-doers, so that none doth returnH7725 from his wickednessH7451: they are all of them becomeH1961 unto me as SodomH5467, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof as GomorrahH6017.
