Jeremiah 23:9-15

9Concerning the prophetsH5030. My heartH3820 within me is brokenH7665, all my bonesH6106 shake; I amH1961 like a drunkenH7910 manH376, and like a manH376 whom wineH3196 hath overcome, because of Jehovah, and because of his holyH6944 wordsH1697. 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. 15ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635 concerning the prophetsH5030: Behold, I will feed them with wormwoodH3939, and make them drinkH8248 the waterH4325 of gall; for from the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 is ungodliness goneH3318 forthH3318 into all the landH776.
