“For the land is full of adulterers;for because of the curse the land mourns.The pastures of the wilderness have dried up.Their course is evil,and their might is not right;”
Jeremiah 23:10 (WEB)
Context Reading
8but, ‘As Yahweh lives, who brought up and who led the offspring of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ Then they will dwell in their own land.” 9Concerning the prophets:My heart within me is broken.All my bones shake.I am like a drunken man,and like a man whom wine has overcome,because of Yahweh,and because of his holy words. 10“For the land is full of adulterers;for because of the curse the land mourns.The pastures of the wilderness have dried up.Their course is evil,and their might is not right; 11for both prophet and priest are profane.Yes, in my house I have found their wickedness,” says Yahweh. 12Therefore their way will be to them as slippery places in the darkness.They will be driven on,and fall therein;for I will bring evil on them,even the year of their visitation,” says Yahweh.
