Jeremiah 23:14-16
Contemporary English Version
14 (A) And you prophets in Jerusalem
are even worse.
You're unfaithful in marriage[a]
and never tell the truth.[b]
You even lead others to sin
instead of helping them
turn back to me.
You and the people of Jerusalem
are evil like Sodom
and Gomorrah.[c]
15 You prophets in Jerusalem
have spread evil everywhere.
That's why I, the Lord, promise
to give you bitter poison
to eat and drink.
The Lord Gives a Warning
The Lord said:
16 Don't listen to the lies
of these false prophets,
you people of Judah!
The message they preach
is something they imagined;
it did not come from me,
the Lord All-Powerful.
Jeremiah 23:14-16
New International Version
14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen something horrible:(A)
They commit adultery and live a lie.(B)
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,(C)
so that not one of them turns from their wickedness.(D)
They are all like Sodom(E) to me;
the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”(F)
15 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets:
“I will make them eat bitter food
and drink poisoned water,(G)
because from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness(H) has spread throughout the land.”
16 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
