Jeremiah 23:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 Mine heart breaketh within me, because of the [a]prophets, all my bones shake: I am like a drunken man (and like a man whom wine hath [b]overcome) for the presence of the Lord and for his holy words.
10 For the land is full of adulterers, and because of oaths the land mourneth, the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their [c]course is evil, and their force is not right.
11 For both the Prophet and the Priest [d]do wickedly: and their wickedness have I found in mine [e]House, saith the Lord.

Lying Prophets
9 Concerning the prophets:
My heart(A) is broken within me;
all my bones tremble.(B)
I am like a drunken man,
like a strong man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord
and his holy words.(C)
10 The land is full of adulterers;(D)
because of the curse[a](E) the land lies parched
and the pastures(F) in the wilderness are withered.(G)
The prophets follow an evil course
and use their power unjustly.
