Jeremiah 23:9-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
False Prophets of Hope Denounced
9 Concerning the prophets:
My heart is crushed within me;
all my bones shake;
I have become like a drunkard,
like one overcome by wine,
because of the Lord
and because of his holy words.(A)
10 For the land is full of adulterers;
because of the curse the land mourns,
and the pastures of the wilderness are dried up.
Their course has been evil,
and their might is not right.(B)
11 Both prophet and priest are ungodly;
even in my house I have found their wickedness,
says the Lord.(C)
