Jeremiah 23:10-14

10For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.12

11For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith Yhwh.

12Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith Yhwh.

13And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.3

14I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.4
