13 The prophets in Samaria
    were repulsive to me,
because they preached
in the name of Baal
    and led my people astray.
14 (A) And you prophets in Jerusalem
    are even worse.
You're unfaithful in marriage[a]
    and never tell the truth.[b]
You even lead others to sin
instead of helping them
    turn back to me.
You and the people of Jerusalem
are evil like Sodom
    and Gomorrah.[c]
15 You prophets in Jerusalem
    have spread evil everywhere.
That's why I, the Lord, promise
to give you bitter poison
    to eat and drink.
