Jeremiah 23:9-18

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}

For who hath stood
<05975> (8804)

in the counsel
<05475>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and hath perceived
<07200> (8799)

and heard
<08085> (8799)

his word
<01697>_?

who hath marked
<07181> (8689)

his word
<01697>_,

and heard
<08085> (8799)

[it]? {counsel: or, secret}
