Jeremiah 23:12 Context
10For the land is full of adulterers, for because of swearing the land mourneth: the pleasant places of the wildernes are dried vp, and their course is euil, and their force is not right. 11For both prophet and priest are prophane, yea in my house haue I found their wickednesse, saith the Lord. 12Wherefore their way shalbe vnto them as slippery wayes in the darkenes: they shalbe driuen on and fall therein: for I will bring euill vpon them, euen the yeere of their visitation, saith the Lord. 13And I haue seene folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophecied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to erre. 14I haue seene also in the prophets of Ierusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walke in lies: they strengthen also the hands of euill doers, that none doeth returne from his wickednesse: they are all of them vnto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
