Jeremiah 23:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Therefore behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The [a]Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
8 But the Lord liveth, which brought up and led the seed of the house of Israel out of the North country, and from all countries where I had scattered them, and they shall dwell in their own land.
9 Mine heart breaketh within me, because of the [b]prophets, all my bones shake: I am like a drunken man (and like a man whom wine hath [c]overcome) for the presence of the Lord and for his holy words.
