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.
