12 “Therefore(A) their way shall be to them
Like slippery ways;
In the darkness they shall be driven on
And fall in them;
For I (B)will bring disaster on them,
The year of their punishment,” says the Lord.
13 “And I have seen [a]folly in the prophets of Samaria:
(C)They prophesied by Baal
And (D)caused My people Israel to err.
14 Also I have seen a horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem:
(E)They commit adultery and walk in lies;
They also (F)strengthen the hands of evildoers,
So that no one turns back from his wickedness.
All of them are like (G)Sodom to Me,
And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.
