10 Eternal One: The land is full of adulterers;
        surely the curse is in effect and the land mourns.
    The pastures in the wilderness are all dried up,
        for they have set an evil course,
        and their might is not right.
11     For even the prophets and priests are ungodly;
        I have witnessed them perform wicked acts in My temple.
12     Now this path they are on will become treacherous, and they will slip and slide;
        they will stumble and fall into the darkness, driven into the gloom.
    For in the year of their punishment,
        I will bring them to ruin.

10 The land is full of adulterers;(A)
    because of the curse[a](B) the land lies parched
    and the pastures(C) in the wilderness are withered.(D)
The prophets follow an evil course
    and use their power unjustly.

11 “Both prophet and priest are godless;(E)
    even in my temple(F) I find their wickedness,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore their path will become slippery;(G)
    they will be banished to darkness
    and there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them
    in the year they are punished,(H)
declares the Lord.
