13 Among the prophets of Samaria
    I beheld this repulsive deed:
they prophesied in the name of Baal
    and led my people astray.
14 But among the prophets of Jerusalem
    I have seen deeds that are even more shocking:
they commit adultery and persist in lying
    and uphold those who are evil
    so that no one turns away from wickedness.
To me they have all become like Sodom,
    and its inhabitants are like Gomorrah.

15 Therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts in regard to the prophets:

I intend to give them wormwood to eat
    and force them to drink poisoned water.
For from the prophets of Jerusalem
    ungodliness has spread throughout the land.

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.”
