Jeremiah 23:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 And I have seen foolishness in the prophets of Samaria that prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem [a]filthiness: they commit adultery and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of the wicked, that none can return from his wickedness: they are all [b]unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets, Behold, I will feed them with [c]wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is [d]wickedness gone forth into all the land.
