Jeremiah 23:8-10
International Children’s Bible
8 But people will say something new: ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought Israel from the land of the north and from all the countries where he had sent them away . . .’ Then the people of Israel will live in their own land.”
False Prophets
9 A message to the prophets:
My heart is broken.
All my bones shake.
I’m like a man who is drunk.
I’m like a man who has been overcome with wine.
This is because of the Lord
and his holy words.
10 The land of Judah is full of people who are guilty of adultery.
Because of this, the Lord cursed the land.
And it has become very dry.
The pastures have dried up.
The people are evil.
They use their power in the wrong way.

Lying Prophets
9 Concerning the prophets:
My heart(B) is broken within me;
all my bones tremble.(C)
I am like a drunken man,
like a strong man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord
and his holy words.(D)
10 The land is full of adulterers;(E)
because of the curse[a](F) the land lies parched
and the pastures(G) in the wilderness are withered.(H)
The prophets follow an evil course
and use their power unjustly.
