Jeremiah 23:10-12

Good News Translation

¹⁰ The land is full of people unfaithful to the Lord;
    they live wicked lives and misuse their power.
Because of the Lord's curse the land mourns
    and the pastures are dry.

“The prophets and the priests are godless;
    I have caught them doing evil in the Temple itself.
¹² The paths they follow will be slippery and dark;
    I will make them stumble and fall.
I am going to bring disaster on them;
    the time of their punishment is coming.
I, the Lord, have spoken.
