24:023:009 Mine heart within me is broken because
of the prophets; all my
bones
shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom
wine
hath
overcome, because of the lord, and because of
the words
of
his holiness.
24:023:010 For the land is full of adulterers; for
because of swearing
the
land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness
are
dried
up, and their course is evil, and their force is not
right.
24:023:011 For both prophet and priest are profane;
yea, in my house have
I
found their wickedness, saith the lord.
24:023:012 Wherefore their way shall be unto them
as slippery ways in the
darkness:
they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for
I
will
bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation,
saith
the lord.
24:023:013 And I have seen folly in the prophets of
Samaria; they
prophesied
in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
24:023:014 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem
an horrible
thing:
they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen
also
the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from
his
wickedness;
they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the
inhabitants
thereof as Gomorrah.
24:023:015 Therefore thus saith the lord of hosts
concerning the
prophets;
Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make
them
drink the water of gall: for from the prophets
of
Jerusalem
is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
24:023:016 Thus saith the lord of hosts, Hearken
not unto the words of
the
prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you
vain: they
speak
a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth
of
the
lord.
24:023:017 They say still unto them that despise me,
The lord hath said,
Ye
shall have peace; and they say unto every one that
walketh
after
the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come
upon
you.
24:023:018 For who hath stood in the counsel of the
lord, and hath
perceived
and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and
heard
it?
24:023:019 Behold, a whirlwind of the lord is
gone forth in fury, even a
grievous
whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head
of
the
wicked.
24:023:020 The anger of the lord shall not return,
until he have
executed,
and till he have performed the thoughts of his
heart:
in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
24:023:021 I have not sent these prophets, yet they
ran: I have not
spoken
to them, yet they prophesied.
