Jeremiah 23:10

The Unfaithful Prophets

⁹ Concerning the prophets:

My heart is broken within me,
and all my bones tremble.
I have become like a drunkard,
like a man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord,
because of His holy words.
¹⁰ For the land is full of adulterers;
the land mourns because of the curse,
and the grazing lands in the wilderness have dried up.
Their way of life has become evil,
and their power is not rightly used
¹¹ because both prophet and priest are ungodly,
even in My house I have found their evil.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
