Jeremiah 23:14

The Unfaithful Prophets

¹³ Among the prophets of Samaria
I saw something disgusting:
They prophesied by Baal
and led My people Israel astray.
¹⁴ Among the prophets of Jerusalem also
I saw a horrible thing:
They commit adultery and walk in lies.
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,
and none turns his back on evil.
They are all like Sodom to Me;
Jerusalem’s residents are like Gomorrah. ¹⁵ Therefore, this is what the Lord of Hosts says concerning the prophets:

I am about to feed them wormwood
and give them poisoned water to drink,
for from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness has spread throughout the land.
