13 In the prophets of Samaria
    I saw a disgusting thing:
they prophesied by Baal
    and led my people Israel astray.
14 But in the prophets of Jerusalem
    I have seen a more shocking thing:
they commit adultery and walk in lies;
    they strengthen the hands of evildoers,
    so that no one turns from wickedness;
all of them have become like Sodom to me,
    and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.
15 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
‘I am going to make them eat wormwood,
    and give them poisoned water to drink;
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.”
