As for the prophets: My ^(C1)heart is broken within me, All my bones tremble; I have become like a drunken man, And like a man overcome by wine, Because of the LORD And because of His holy words.

For the land is full of ^(C1)adulterers; For the land ^(C2)mourns because of the curse. The ^(C3)pastures of the wilderness have dried up. Their course is evil And their might is not right.

"For ^(C1)both prophet and priest are defiled; Even in My house I have found their wickedness," declares the LORD.

"Therefore their way will be like ^(C1)slippery paths to them, They will be driven away into the ^(C2)gloom and fall down in it; For I will bring ^(C3)disaster upon them, The year of their punishment," declares the LORD.

"Moreover, among the prophets of Samaria I saw an ^(C1)offensive thing: They ^(C2)prophesied by Baal and ^(C3)led My people Israel astray.

-"Also among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a ^(C1)horrible thing: The committing of ^(C2)adultery and walking in deceit; And they strengthen the hands of ^(C3)evildoers, So that no one has turned back from his wickedness. All of them have become to Me like ^(C4)Sodom, And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.
