Jeremiah 23:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ When I think of the prophets,
I am shocked, and I tremble^[a]
    like someone drunk,
because of the Lord
    and his sacred words.
¹⁰ Those unfaithful prophets
misuse their power
    all over the country.
So God turned the pasturelands
    into scorching deserts.^[b]

You prophets and priests
think so little of me, the Lord,
    that you even sin
    in my own temple!
