11. Both prophet and priest are godless;I even find their evil in my temple,declares the Lord.
12. Therefore, they will find themselves on slippery groundand will be thrust into darkness,where they will collapse.I will bring disaster upon them,when their time comes, declares the Lord.
13. In the prophets of SamariaI saw something shocking:They prophesied by Baaland led astray my people Israel.
14. In the prophets of JerusalemI saw something horrible:They commit adultery and tell lies.They encourage evildoersso that no one turns from their wickedness.In my eyes, they are no better than Sodom;its people are like Gomorrah.
15. Therefore, this is what the Lord of heavenly forces proclaims concerning the prophets:I’m going to feed them bitter foodand give them poison to drink.Wickedness has spread from the prophets of Jerusalemthroughout the land.
16. The Lord proclaims:Don’t listen to the prophetswho are speaking to you;they are deceiving you.Their visions come from their own hearts,not from the Lord’s mouth.
