7. “The time is coming,” says the Lord, “when people will no longer swear by me as the living God who brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
8. Instead, 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.”
9. My heart is crushed,and I am trembling.Because of the Lord,because of his holy words,I am like a man who is drunk,a man who has had too much wine.
10. The 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 mournsand the pastures are dry.
11. The Lord says,“The prophets and the priests are godless;I have caught them doing evil in the Temple itself.
