13 “Moreover, among the prophets of Samaria I saw an (A)offensive thing:
They (B)prophesied by Baal and (C)led My people Israel astray.
14 Also among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen an (D)appalling thing:
The committing of (E)adultery and walking in lying;
And they strengthen the hands of (F)evildoers,
So that no one has turned back from his evil.
All of them have become to Me like (G)Sodom,
And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.

15 Therefore thus says Yahweh of hosts concerning the prophets,

‘Behold, I am going to (H)feed them wormwood
And make them drink [a]poisoned water,
For from the prophets of Jerusalem
Pollution has gone forth into all the land.’”

  1. Jeremiah 23:15 Or gall

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:

“I will make them eat bitter food
    and drink poisoned water,(I)
because from the prophets of Jerusalem
    ungodliness(J) has spread throughout the land.”
