* For both prophet and priest are profane ; yea , in my house have I found their wickedness , saith the LORD . * 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 . * And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria ; they prophesied in Baal Ba #al #, and caused my people Israel to err . * I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing sha #aruwrah #: 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 . * Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets ; Behold , I will feed them with wormwood la #anah #, and make them drink the water of gall ro #sh #: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 ? * Behold , a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury , even a grievous whirlwind ca #ar #: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked . * 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 . * I have not sent these prophets , yet they ran : I have not spoken to them , yet they prophesied . * But if they had stood in my counsel , and had caused my people to hear my words , then they should have turned them from their evil way , and from the evil of their doings ma #alal #.
