Concerning the prophets:<\/p>\n
My heart is broken within me,
\n all my bones shake;
\nI am like a drunken man,
\n like a man overcome by wine,
\nbecause of the Lord
\n and because of his holy words.
\nFor the land is full of adulterers;
\n because of the curse the land mourns,
\n and the pastures of the wilderness are dried up.
\nTheir course is evil,
\n and their might is not right.
\n\u201cBoth prophet and priest are ungodly;
\n even in my house I have found their wickedness,
\n says the Lord.
\nTherefore their way shall be to them
\n like slippery paths in the darkness,
\n into which they shall be driven and fall;
\nfor I will bring evil upon them
\n in the year of their punishment,
\n says the Lord.
\nIn the prophets of Samar\u2032ia
\n I saw an unsavory thing:
\nthey prophesied by Ba\u2032al
\n and led my people Israel astray.
\nBut in the prophets of Jerusalem
\n I have seen a horrible thing:
\nthey commit adultery and walk in lies;
\n they strengthen the hands of evildoers,
\n so that no one turns from his wickedness;
\nall of them have become like Sodom to me,
\n and its inhabitants like Gomor\u2032rah.\u201d<\/p>\n
Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:<\/p>\n
\u201cBehold, I will feed them with wormwood,
\n and give them poisoned water to drink;
\nfor from the prophets of Jerusalem
\n ungodliness has gone forth into all the land.\u201d<\/p>\n
