9. Concerning the prophets:My heart is broken within me,all my bones tremble;I am like a drunk,like one overcome by wine,Because of the Lord,because of his holy words.
10. The land is filled with adulterers;because of the curse the land mourns,the pastures of the wilderness are withered.Theirs is an evil course,theirs is unjust power.
11. Both prophet and priest are godless!In my very house I find their wickedness—oracle of the Lord.
12. Hence their way shall become for themslippery ground.Into the darkness they shall be driven,and fall headlong;For I will bring disaster upon them,the year of their punishment—oracle of the Lord.
13. Among Samaria’s prophetsI saw something unseemly:They prophesied by Baaland led my people Israel astray.
