Jeremiah 23:9-15
9As for the prophets: My 1heart is broken within me, All my bones tremble; I have become like a drunken man, Even like a man overcome with wine, Because of the Lord And because of His holy words.10For the land is full of 2adulterers; For the land 3mourns because of the curse. The 4pastures of the wilderness have dried up. Their course also is evil And their might is not right.11“For 5both prophet and priest are polluted; Even in My house I have found their wickedness,” declares the Lord.12“Therefore their way will be like 6slippery paths to them, They will be driven away into the 7gloom and fall down in it; For I will bring 8calamity upon them, The year of their punishment,” declares the Lord.
13“Moreover, among the prophets of Samaria I saw an 9offensive thing: They 10prophesied by Baal and 11led My people Israel astray.14Also among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a 12horrible thing: The committing of 13adultery and walking in falsehood; And they strengthen the hands of 14evildoers, So that no one has turned back from his wickedness. All of them have become to Me like 15Sodom, And her inhabitants like Gomorrah. 15Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets, ‘Behold, I am going to 16feed them wormwood And make them drink poisonous water, For from the prophets of Jerusalem Pollution has gone forth into all the land.’”
