Jeremiah 23:10-12

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁰ The land is filled with adulterers.
The land mourns because of the curse.
Pastures in the wilderness have dried up.
The people are evil,
and they use their strength to do the wrong things.
¹¹ The prophets and priests are godless.
Even in my temple I’ve found them doing evil,” declares the Lord.
¹² “That is why their own way will become
like slippery paths in the dark.
They will be chased away, and they will fall down in the dark.
I will bring disaster on them.
It is time for them to be punished,” declares the Lord.
