Jeremiah 5:29-31

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁹Shall I not punish them for these things?
says the Lord,
and shall I not bring retribution
on a nation such as this?

³⁰An appalling and horrible thing
    has happened in the land:
³¹the prophets prophesy falsely,
    and the priests rule as the prophets direct;^[a]
my people love to have it so,
    but what will you do when the end comes?
