Jeremiah 23:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰The 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.
¹²“So they will be in danger.
    They will be forced into darkness
    where they will be defeated.
I will bring disaster on them
    in the year I punish them,” says the Lord.
