Jeremiah 23:9-22
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 16Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, HearkenH8085 not to the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 to you: they make you vainH1891: they speakH1696 a visionH2377 of their own heartH3820, and not from the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068. 17They sayH559 stillH559 to them that despiseH5006 me, The LORDH3068 hath saidH1696, Ye shall have peaceH7965; and they sayH559 to every one that walkethH1980 after the imaginationH8307 of his own heartH3820, No evilH7451 shall comeH935 upon you.6 18For who hath stoodH5975 in the counselH5475 of the LORDH3068, and hath perceivedH7200 and heardH8085 his wordH1697? who hath markedH7181 his wordH1697, and heardH8085 it ?7 19Behold, a whirlwindH5591 of the LORDH3068 is gone forthH3318 in furyH2534, even a grievousH2342 whirlwindH5591: it shall fall grievouslyH2342 upon the headH7218 of the wickedH7563. 20The angerH639 of the LORDH3068 shall not returnH7725, until he shall have executedH6213, and till he shall have performedH6965 the thoughtsH4209 of his heartH3820: in the latterH319 daysH3117 ye shall considerH995 it perfectlyH998. 21I have not sentH7971 these prophetsH5030, yet they ranH7323: I have not spokenH1696 to them, yet they prophesiedH5012. 22But if they had stoodH5975 in my counselH5475, and had caused my peopleH5971 to hearH8085 my wordsH1697, then they should have turnedH7725 them from their evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the evilH7455 of their doingsH4611.
