The Unfaithful Prophets

10 For the land is full of adulterers. For because of swearing the land mourns. The pastures of the wilderness are dried up. And their course is evil, and their might is not right. 11 For both prophet and priest are profane. Yea, in my house I have found their wickedness, says LORD. 12 Therefore their way shall be to them as slippery places in the darkness. They shall be driven on, and fall in it. For I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, says LORD.
