13 “And I have seen [a]folly in the prophets of Samaria:
(A)They prophesied by Baal
And (B)caused My people Israel to err.
14 Also I have seen a horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem:
(C)They commit adultery and walk in lies;
They also (D)strengthen the hands of evildoers,
So that no one turns back from his wickedness.
All of them are like (E)Sodom to Me,
And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.

15 “Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:

‘Behold, I will feed them with (F)wormwood,
And make them drink the water of gall;
For from the prophets of Jerusalem
[b]Profaneness has gone out into all the land.’ ”
