¹⁰ For the land is full of adulterers;^(A)
the land mourns^(B) because of the curse,^(C)
and the grazing lands in the wilderness have dried up.
Their way of life^[a] has become evil,
and their power is not rightly used

¹¹ because both prophet and priest are ungodly,^(D)
even in my house^(E) I have found their evil.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
¹² Therefore, their way will seem
like slippery paths in the gloom.^(F)
They will be driven away and fall down there,
for I will bring disaster on them,
the year of their punishment.^(G)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
