Jeremiah

Jeremiah 23:11–12

¹¹“For both prophet and priest are ungodly;

even in My house I have found their wickedness,”

¹²“Therefore their path will become slick;

they will be driven away into the darkness and fall into it.

For I will bring disaster upon them

in the year of their punishment,”

declares the LORD.
