Jeremiah 23:10-14

10For the landH776 is fullH4390 of adulterersH5003; for becauseH6440 of swearingH423 the landH776 mournethH56; the pleasant placesH4999 of the wildernessH4057 are dried upH3001, and their courseH4794 is evilH7451, and their forceH1369 is not right.12

11For both prophetH5030 and priestH3548 are profaneH2610; yea, in my houseH1004 have I foundH4672 their wickednessH7451, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.

12Wherefore their wayH1870 shall be unto them as slipperyH2519 ways in the darknessH653: they shall be driven onH1760, and fallH5307 therein: for I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon them, even the yearH8141 of their visitationH6486, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.

13And I have seenH7200 follyH8604 in the prophetsH5030 of SamariaH8111; they prophesiedH5012 in BaalH1168, and caused my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to errH8582.3

14I have seenH7200 also in the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 an horrible thingH8186: they commit adulteryH5003, and walkH1980 in liesH8267: they strengthenH2388 also the handsH3027 of evildoersH7489, that noneH376 doth returnH7725 from his wickednessH7451: they are all of them unto me as SodomH5467, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof as GomorrahH6017.4
