but, ‘As the Lord lives, who brought and led the descendants of the house of Israel from the land of the north and from all the other countries where I[a] had banished them.’ They will dwell once more in their own land.”(A)

False Prophets Condemned

Concerning the prophets:

My heart is broken within me,(B)
and all my bones tremble.
I have become like a drunkard,
like a man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord,
because of his holy words.

10 For the land is full of adulterers;(C)
the land mourns(D) because of the curse,(E)
and the grazing lands in the wilderness have dried up.
Their way of life[b] has become evil,
and their power is not rightly used
