Jeremiah 23:9-11

New Century Version

My heart is broken.
    All my bones shake.
I’m like someone who is drunk,
    like someone who has been overcome with wine.
This is because of the Lord
    and his holy words.
¹⁰ The land of Judah is full of people who are guilty of adultery.
    Because of this, the Lord cursed the land.
    It has become a very sad place,
    and the pastures have dried up.
The people are evil
    and use their power in the wrong way.

¹¹ “Both the prophets and the priests live as if there were no God.
    I have found them doing evil things even in my own Temple,” says the Lord.
