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.’ ”
“Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.
They make you worthless;
aThey speak a vision of their own heart,
Not from the mouth of the Lord.
‘The Lord has said, a“You shall have peace” ’;
And to everyone who bwalks according to the dictates of his own heart, they say,
c‘No evil shall come upon you.’ ”
