Jeremiah 23:9-15

9My heartH3820 withinH7130 me is brokenH7665 because of the prophetsH5030; all my bonesH6106 shakeH7363; I am like a drunkenH7910 manH376, and like a manH1397 whom wineH3196 hath overcomeH5674, becauseH6440 of the LORDH3068, and because of the wordsH1697 of his holinessH6944. 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; even, in my houseH1004 have I foundH4672 their wickednessH7451, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. 12Therefore their wayH1870 shall be to them as slipperyH2519 paths in the darknessH653: they shall be driven onH1760, and fallH5307 in it: for I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon them, even the yearH8141 of their punishmentH6486, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. 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 to me as SodomH5467, and its inhabitantsH3427 as GomorrahH6017.4 15Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 concerning the prophetsH5030; Behold, I will feedH398 them with wormwoodH3939, and make them drinkH8248 the waterH4325 of gallH7219: for from the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 is profanenessH2613 gone forthH3318 into all the landH776.5
