Jeremiah 23:11

The Unfaithful Prophets

¹⁰ The land is full of adulterers! 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 That is why their own way will become like a slippery path in the dark. They will be chased away, and they will fall down in the dark. I will bring disaster on them. It is time for them to be punished, proclaims Jehovah.
