Jeremiah 23:14-16
New King James Version
14 Also I have seen a horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem:
(A)They commit adultery and walk in lies;
They also (B)strengthen the hands of evildoers,
So that no one turns back from his wickedness.
All of them are like (C)Sodom to Me,
And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.
15 “Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
‘Behold, I will feed them with (D)wormwood,
And make them drink the water of gall;
For from the prophets of Jerusalem
[a]Profaneness has gone out into all the land.’ ”
16 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.
They make you worthless;
(E)They speak a vision of their own heart,
Not from the mouth of the Lord.

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:
