Jeremiah 23:8-17

But, The LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
which brought up
<05927> (8689)
and which led
<0935> (8689)
the seed
<02233>
of the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
out of the north
<06828>
country
<0776>_,
and from all countries
<0776>
whither I had driven
<05080> (8689)
them; and they shall dwell
<03427> (8804)
in their own land
<0127>_.
Mine heart
<03820>
within
<07130>
me is broken
<07665> (8738)
because of the prophets
<05030>_;
all my bones
<06106>
shake
<07363> (8804)_;
I am like a drunken
<07910>
man
<0376>_,
and like a man
<01397>
whom wine
<03196>
hath overcome
<05674> (8804)_,
because
<06440>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and because of the words
<01697>
of his holiness
<06944>_.
For the land
<0776>
is full
<04390> (8804)
of adulterers
<05003> (8764)_;
for because
<06440>
of swearing
<0423>
the land
<0776>
mourneth
<056> (8804)_;
the pleasant places
<04999>
of the wilderness
<04057>
are dried up
<03001> (8804)_,
and their course
<04794>
is evil
<07451>_,
and their force
<01369>
[is] not right. {swearing: or, cursing} {course: or, violence}
For both prophet
<05030>
and priest
<03548>
are profane
<02610> (8804)_;
yea, in my house
<01004>
have I found
<04672> (8804)
their wickedness
<07451>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Wherefore their way
<01870>
shall be unto them as slippery
<02519>
[ways] in the darkness
<0653>_:
they shall be driven on
<01760> (8735)_,
and fall
<05307> (8804)
therein: for I will bring
<0935> (8686)
evil
<07451>
upon them, [even] the year
<08141>
of their visitation
<06486>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
And I have seen
<07200> (8804)
folly
<08604>
in the prophets
<05030>
of Samaria
<08111>_;
they prophesied
<05012> (8694)
in Baal
<01168>_,
and caused my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>
to err
<08582> (8686)_.
{folly: or, an absurd thing: Heb. unsavoury}
I have seen
<07200> (8804)
also in the prophets
<05030>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
an horrible thing
<08186>_:
they commit adultery
<05003> (8800)_,
and walk
<01980> (8800)
in lies
<08267>_:
they strengthen
<02388> (8765)
also the hands
<03027>
of evildoers
<07489> (8688)_,
that none
<0376>
doth return
<07725> (8804)
from his wickedness
<07451>_:
they are all of them unto me as Sodom
<05467>_,
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof as Gomorrah
<06017>_.
{an...: or, filthiness}
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
concerning the prophets
<05030>_;
Behold, I will feed
<0398> (8688)
them with wormwood
<03939>_,
and make them drink
<08248> (8689)
the water
<04325>
of gall
<07219>_:
for from the prophets
<05030>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
is profaneness
<02613>
gone forth
<03318> (8804)
into all the land
<0776>_.
{profaneness: or, hypocrisy}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
Hearken
<08085> (8799)
not unto the words
<01697>
of the prophets
<05030>
that prophesy
<05012> (8737)
unto you: they make you vain
<01891> (8688)_:
they speak
<01696> (8762)
a vision
<02377>
of their own heart
<03820>_,
[and] not out of the mouth
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
They say
<0559> (8802)
still
<0559> (8800)
unto them that despise
<05006> (8764)
me, The LORD
<03068>
hath said
<01696> (8765)_,
Ye shall have peace
<07965>_;
and they say
<0559> (8804)
unto every one that walketh
<01980> (8802)
after the imagination
<08307>
of his own heart
<03820>_,
No evil
<07451>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
upon you. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
