NSB(i)
13 »Say this about the prophets of Samaria: ‘I saw something disgusting. The prophets of Samaria prophesied by Baal and led my people Israel astray.’
14 »Say this about the prophets of Jerusalem: ‘I see something horrible. The prophets of Jerusalem commit adultery and live a lie. They support those who do evil so that no one turns back from his wickedness. They are all like Sodom to me, and those who live in Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.’«
15 This is what Jehovah of Hosts says about the prophets: »I will give them wormwood to eat and poison to drink. The prophets of Jerusalem have spread godlessness throughout the land.«
16 This is what Jehovah of Hosts says: »Do not listen to what the prophets are saying to you. They fill you with false hope. They speak about visions that they dreamed up. These visions are not from Jehovah.
17 »They keep saying to those who despise me, Jehovah says: ‘Everything will go well for you.’ They tell all who live by their own stubborn ways: ‘Nothing bad will happen to you.’«
9 My heart is broken within me. All my bones tremble! I have become like a drunken man, even like a man overcome with wine. This is because of Jehovah and because of his holy words.
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 »The prophets and priests are godless. Even in my Temple I have found them doing evil,« declares Jehovah.
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.
