9 Concerning the prophets:

My heart is broken within me;

all my bones shake;

I am like a drunken man,

like a man overcome by wine,

because of the Lord

and because of his holy words.

10 For the land is full of adulterers;

because of the curse the land mourns,

and the pastures of the wilderness are dried up.

Their course is evil,

and their might is not right.

9 Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets;

All my bones shake;

I am like a drunken man,

And like a man whom wine hath overcome,

Because of the Lord, and because of the words of his holiness.

For because of swearing the land mourneth;

The pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up,

And their course is evil, and their force is not right.

and my bones tremble.

because of the holy words

the Lord has spoken against them.

and it lies under a curse.

The land itself is in mourning—

its wilderness pastures are dried up.

For they all do evil

and abuse what power they have.

For because of a curse the land mourns.

The pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up.

Their course of life is evil,
