Jeremiah 11:10-13
Holman Christian Standard Bible
10 They have returned to the sins of their ancestors(A) who refused to obey My words and have followed other gods to worship them.(B) The house of Israel and the house of Judah broke My covenant I made with their ancestors.
11 “Therefore, this is what the Lord says: I am about to bring on them disaster that they cannot escape.(C) They will cry out to Me, but I will not hear them. 12 Then the cities of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods they have been burning incense to, but they certainly will not save them in their time of disaster.(D) 13 Your gods are indeed as numerous as your cities, Judah,(E) and the altars you have set up to Shame[a](F)—altars to burn incense to Baal—as numerous as the streets of Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 23:14
Holman Christian Standard Bible
14 Among the prophets of Jerusalem also
I saw a horrible thing:
They commit adultery and walk in lies.
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,
and none turns his back on evil.
They are all like Sodom(A) to Me;
Jerusalem’s residents are like Gomorrah.
Jeremiah 23:21-22
Holman Christian Standard Bible
21 I did not send these prophets,(A)
yet they ran with a message.
I did not speak to them,
yet they prophesied.
22 If they had really stood in My council,
they would have enabled My people to hear My words
and would have turned them back from their evil ways
and their evil deeds.
