Jeremiah 23:11-13

Contemporary English Version

The Lord Will Punish Unfaithful Prophets

¹¹The Lord told me to say:

You prophets and priests
think so little of me, the Lord,
    that you even sin
    in my own temple!
¹²Now I will punish you
    with disaster,
and you will slip and fall
    in the darkness.
I, the Lord, have spoken.

¹³The prophets in Samaria
were repulsive to me,
because they preached
in the name of Baal
and led my people astray.
