A broken heart

The Branch and the False Prophets · Jeremiah 23

Open this scene in the reader →

9Concerning the prophets: my heart is broken within me; all my bones tremble. I have become like a drunken man, like a strong man overcome by wine, because of Yahweh and because of his holy words.

10For the land is full of adulterers; because of the curse the land mourns, and the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. Their course is evil, and their might is not right.

11For both prophet and priest are ungodly; even in my house I have found their evil, declares Yahweh.

12Therefore their way will be to them like slippery places in the darkness; they will be driven along and fall in it, for I will bring disaster on them in the year of their punishment, declares Yahweh.
