12     Now this path they are on will become treacherous, and they will slip and slide;
        they will stumble and fall into the darkness, driven into the gloom.
    For in the year of their punishment,
        I will bring them to ruin.

13     I saw something repulsive
        among the prophets of Samaria:
    They prophesied in the name of Baal
        and led My people, Israel, away from Me.
14     I have seen something horrible among the prophets of Jerusalem:
        worship that is adulterous and deceitful.

        now no one turns back from his sin.
    The citizens of Jerusalem remind Me of the wicked people
        who once lived in Sodom and Gomorrah.
