Jeremiah 23:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² The paths they follow will be slippery and dark;
    I will make them stumble and fall.
I am going to bring disaster on them;
    the time of their punishment is coming.
I, the Lord, have spoken.
¹³ I have seen the sin of Samaria's prophets:
    they have spoken in the name of Baal
    and have led my people astray.
^14 (A)But I have seen the prophets in Jerusalem do even worse:
    they commit adultery and tell lies;
    they help people to do wrong,
    so that no one stops doing what is evil.
To me they are all as bad
    as the people of Sodom and Gomorrah.
