11 For priest and prophet are defiled, and I have seen their iniquities in My house.
12 Therefore let their way be slippery and dark to them, and they shall be tripped up and fall in it; for I will bring evils upon them, in the year of their visitation.
13 And in the prophets of Samaria I have seen lawless deeds; they prophesied by Baal, and led My people Israel astray.
14 Also in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen horrible things: as they committed adultery, and walked in lies, and strengthened the hands of many, that they should not return each from his evil way. They have all become to Me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.
15 Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I will feed them with pain, and give them bitter water to drink; for from the prophets of Jerusalem has defilement gone forth into all the land.
16 Thus says the Lord Almighty, Hearken not to the words of the prophets, for they frame a vain vision for themselves; they speak from their own heart, and not from the mouth of the Lord.
17 They say to them that reject the word of the Lord, There shall be peace to you; and to all that walk after their own lusts, and to everyone that walks in the error of his heart, they have said, No evil shall come upon you.
18 For who has stood in the counsel of the Lord, and seen His word? Who has hearkened, and heard?
19 Behold, there is an earthquake from the Lord, and anger proceeds to a convulsion, it shall come violently upon the ungodly.
20 And the Lord's wrath shall return no more, until He has accomplished it, and until He has established it, according to the purpose of His heart. At the end of the days they shall understand it.
21 I sent not the prophets, yet they ran: neither did I speak to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in My counsel, and if they had hearkened to My words, then would they have turned My people from their evil practices.
