Jeremiah 23:9-11
New International Version - UK
Lying prophets
9 Concerning the prophets:
My heart is broken within me;
all my bones tremble.
I am like a drunken man,
like a strong man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord
and his holy words.
10 The land is full of adulterers;
because of the curse[a] the land lies parched
and the pastures in the wilderness are withered.
The prophets follow an evil course
and use their power unjustly.
11 ‘Both prophet and priest are godless;
even in my temple I find their wickedness,’
declares the Lord.
