9 My heart within me is broken
Because of the prophets;
aAll my bones shake.
I am like a drunken man,
And like a man whom wine has overcome,
Because of the Lord,
And because of His holy words.
Because of the prophets;
aAll my bones shake.
I am like a drunken man,
And like a man whom wine has overcome,
Because of the Lord,
And because of His holy words.
10 For athe land is full of adulterers;
For bbecause of a curse the land mourns.
cThe pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up.
Their course of life is evil,
And their might is not right.
For bbecause of a curse the land mourns.
cThe pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up.
Their course of life is evil,
And their might is not right.
