Jeremiah 23:13-16 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.
