Jeremiah 23:8-10

Judgments Against False Prophets

⁹A message to the prophets:
I am very sad—my heart is broken.
    All my bones are shaking.
Because of the Lord and his holy words,
    I am like a man who is drunk.
¹⁰The land of Judah is full of people who commit adultery.
    They are unfaithful in many ways.
So God cursed the land,
    and it became very dry.
The plants are dried and dying in the pastures.
    The fields have become like the desert.
The prophets are evil.
    They use their influence and power in the wrong way.
