Jeremiah 23:12-14
Living Bible
12 Therefore, their paths will be dark and slippery; they will be chased down dark and treacherous trails and fall. For I will bring evil upon them and see to it, when their time has come, that they pay their penalty in full for all their sins.
13 I knew the prophets of Samaria were unbelievably evil, for they prophesied by Baal and led my people Israel into sin; 14 but the prophets of Jerusalem are even worse! The things they do are horrible; they commit adultery and love dishonesty. They encourage and compliment those who are doing evil instead of turning them back from their sins. These prophets are as thoroughly depraved as the men of Sodom and Gomorrah were.

Jeremiah 23:12-14
New International Version
12 “Therefore their path will become slippery;(A)
they will be banished to darkness
and there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them
in the year they are punished,(B)”
declares the Lord.
13 “Among the prophets of Samaria
I saw this repulsive thing:
They prophesied by Baal(C)
and led my people Israel astray.(D)
14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen something horrible:(E)
They commit adultery and live a lie.(F)
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,(G)
so that not one of them turns from their wickedness.(H)
They are all like Sodom(I) to me;
the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”(J)
