Jeremiah 23:11

The Unfaithful Prophets

¹⁰ For the land is full [of] adulterers; for the land mourns because of a curse. [The] pastures of [the] desert are dry, and their evil has been their way of running, and their power [is] not right. ¹¹ "For both prophet as well as priest are godless, even in my temple I have found their wickedness," {declares} Yahweh. ¹² "{Therefore} their way will be to them like the slippery places, they will be pushed in the darkness, and they will fall into it, for I will bring disaster on them [in] the year of their punishment," {declares} Yahweh.
