Jeremiah 23:10

The Unfaithful Prophets

⁹ As for the prophets:
My heart is broken within me,
All my bones tremble;
I have become like a drunken man,
Even like a man overcome with wine,
Because of the Lord
And because of His holy words.
¹⁰ For the land is full of adulterers;
For 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.
