The Unfaithful Prophets

Concerning the prophets:

My heart is broken in my midst.
    All my bones tremble.
I have become like a drunken man,
    even like a man over whom wine has passed,
because of Yahweh,
    and because of his holy words.[a]
10 For the land is full of adulterers;
    for the land mourns because of a curse.
The pastures of the desert[b] are dry,
    and their evil has been their way of running,
    and their power is not right.
11 “For both prophet as well as priest are godless,
    even in my temple I have found their wickedness,” declares[c] Yahweh.
