Jeremiah 23:13-15
International Children’s Bible
13 “I saw the prophets of Samaria
do something wrong.
I saw those prophets prophesy by the false god Baal.
And they led my people, the Israelites, away.
14 And I have seen the prophets of Jerusalem
do some terrible things.
These prophets are guilty of adultery
and live by lies.
They encourage evil people to keep on doing evil.
So the people don’t stop sinning.
All of those people are like the city of Sodom.
The people of Jerusalem are like the city of Gomorrah to me!”
15 So this is what the Lord of heaven’s armies says about the prophets:
“I will make those prophets eat bitter food.
I will make them drink poisoned water.
This is because the prophets of Jerusalem spread wickedness
through the whole country.”
Jeremiah 23:13-15
New International Version
13 “Among the prophets of Samaria
I saw this repulsive thing:
They prophesied by Baal(A)
and led my people Israel astray.(B)
14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen something horrible:(C)
They commit adultery and live a lie.(D)
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,(E)
so that not one of them turns from their wickedness.(F)
They are all like Sodom(G) to me;
the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”(H)
15 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets:
