Jeremiah 23:9 in context

  1. 7“Therefore behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that they will no more say, ‘As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;’
  2. 8but, ‘As Yahweh lives, who brought up and who led the offspring of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ Then they will dwell in their own land.”
  3. 9Concerning the prophets:
    My heart within me is broken.
    All my bones shake.
    I am like a drunken man,
    and like a man whom wine has overcome,
    because of Yahweh,
    and because of his holy words.
  4. 10For the land is full of adulterers;
    for because of the curse the land mourns.
    The pastures of the wilderness have dried up.
    Their course is evil,
    and their might is not right;
  5. 11for both prophet and priest are profane.
    Yes, in my house I have found their wickedness,” says Yahweh.
