9 [p] My heart within me was broken. All my bones quivered. I was like a man sore bruised and like a man staggering with wine, at the presence of the Lord, and at the comeliness of his glory;
10 because on account of them the land mourned and the pastures of the wilderness were parched up; because their course was bad and suitably thereto their strength.
11 [J] Because priest and prophet are polluted, and in my house I have seen their wickedness;
12 let their way therefore be slippery and dark, that they may stumble and fall therein. For I will bring evils upon them in the year of their visitation.
13 Among the prophets of Samaria I saw indeed unlawful doings; they prophesied in the name of Baal and led my people Israel astray:
14 but among the prophets of Jerusalem I saw horrible things; some committing adultery, and some walking in lies, and some strengthening the hands of the multitude, that none might turn from his evil way. To me they are all become like Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof like Gomorra:
15 therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold I will feed them with worm wood, and give them the water of gall to drink. Because from the prophets of Jerusalem pollution has gone forth through all the land,
16 thus saith the Lord Almighty, Hearken not to the words of these prophets; for they contrive for themselves a foolish vision: they speak from their own hearts and not from the mouth of the Lord.
17 They say to them who reject the word of the Lord, "You shall have peace." Even to all who are walking by their own desires, and to every one walking in the error of his own heart they say, "Evils shall not come upon thee."
