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 the wordsH1697 of his holinessH6944.

10For the landH776 is fullH4390 of adulterersH5003; for because of execration the landH776 mourneth. The pastures of the wildernessH4057 are driedH3001 up; for their courseH4794 is evilH7451, and their force is not rightH3651.

11For both prophetH5030 and priestH3548 are profane: even in my houseH1004 have I foundH4672 their wickednessH7451, saith Jehovah.

12ThereforeH3651 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 in 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.

14And in the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 have I seenH7200 a horrible thing: they commitH5003 adulteryH5003, and walkH1980 in falsehoodH8267, and strengthenH2388 the handsH3027 of evildoers, so that none doth returnH7725 from his wickednessH7451. They are all 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 waterH4325 of gall; for from the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 is profaneness goneH3318 forthH3318 into all the landH776.
