Jeremiah 23:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸Instead, they will swear by me as the living God who brought the people of Israel out of a northern land and out of all the other countries where I had scattered them. Then they will live in their own land.”

Jeremiah's Message about the Prophets

⁹My heart is crushed,
    and I am trembling.
Because of the Lord,
    because of his holy words,
    I am like a man who is drunk,
    someone who has had too much wine.
¹⁰The land is full of people unfaithful to the Lord;
    they live wicked lives and misuse their power.
Because of the Lord's curse the land mourns
    and the pastures are dry.
