Context Readings

The Unfaithful Prophets

12 Therefore, shall their way become to them like slippery places in darkness, They shall be driven on and shall fall therein, - For I will bring in upon them calamity - The year of their visitation, Declareth Yahweh. 13 Even among the prophets of Samaria, had I seen a foolish thing, - They prophesied by Baal, And led astray my people Israel. 14 But among the prophets of Jerusalem, have I seen a horrible thing, - Committing adultery, And walking in falsehood, And so strengthening the hands of doers of wickedness, not to return any man from his wickedness: They have all of them become to me as Sodom, And her inhabitants as Gomorrah.
