Jeremiah 23:1-2

New Century Version

The Evil Leaders of Judah

23 “How terrible it will be for the leaders of Judah, who are scattering and destroying my people,” says the Lord.

² They are responsible for the people, so the Lord, the God of Israel, says to them: “You have scattered my people and forced them away and not taken care of them. So I will punish you for the evil things you have done,” says the Lord.
