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.
Yes, bin My house I have found their wickedness,” says the Lord.
Like slippery ways;
In the darkness they shall be driven on
And fall in them;
For I bwill bring disaster on them,
The year of their punishment,” says the Lord.
aThey prophesied by Baal
And bcaused My people Israel to err.
aThey commit adultery and walk in lies;
They also bstrengthen the hands of evildoers,
So that no one turns back from his wickedness.
All of them are like cSodom to Me,
And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.
‘Behold, I will feed them with awormwood,
And make them drink the water of gall;
For from the prophets of Jerusalem
1Profaneness has gone out into all the land.’ ”
| << Jeremiah 23:11 | Jeremiah 23:13 >> |
