10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of the oath the land is deserted; the booths of the wilderness are dried up, and their course was evil, and their force was not right.

11 For both prophet and priest are feigned; even in my house I have found their wickedness, said the LORD.

12 Therefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness; they shall be driven on and fall therein; for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.

10 The land is full of adulterers;(A)
    because of the curse[a](B) the land lies parched
    and the pastures(C) in the wilderness are withered.(D)
The prophets follow an evil course
    and use their power unjustly.

11 “Both prophet and priest are godless;(E)
    even in my temple(F) I find their wickedness,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore their path will become slippery;(G)
    they will be banished to darkness
    and there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them
    in the year they are punished,(H)
declares the Lord.
