Jeremiah 23:11

The Unfaithful Prophets

¹⁰ For the land is full of adulterers;
For the land mourns because of the curse.
The pastures of the wilderness have dried up.
Their course also is evil
And their might is not right.
¹¹ “For both prophet and priest are polluted;
Even in My house I have found their wickedness,” declares the Lord.
¹² “Therefore their way will be like slippery paths to them,
They will be driven away into the gloom and fall down in it;
For I will bring calamity upon them,
The year of their punishment,” declares the Lord.
