12 Therefore, their way will be to them
like slippery paths in the gloom.(A)
They will be driven away and fall down there,
for I will bring disaster on them,
the year of their punishment.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

13 Among the prophets of Samaria
I saw something disgusting:
They prophesied by[a] Baal
and led My people Israel astray.(B)
14 Among the prophets of Jerusalem also
I saw a horrible thing:
They commit adultery and walk in lies.
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,
and none turns his back on evil.
They are all like Sodom(C) to Me;
Jerusalem’s residents are like Gomorrah.
