10For the land is full of adulterers;z
the land mournsaa because of the curse,ab
and the grazing lands in the wilderness have dried up.
Their way of lifeC has become evil,
and their power is not rightly used
11because both prophet and priest are ungodly,ac
even in my housead I have found their evil.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
12Therefore, their way will seem
like slippery paths in the gloom.ae
They will be driven away and fall down there,
for I will bring disaster on them,
the year of their punishment.af
This is the Lord’s declaration.
13Among the prophets of Samaria
I saw something disgusting:
They prophesied by Baal
and led my people Israel astray.a
14Among the prophets of Jerusalem also
I saw a horrible thing:b
They commit adultery and walk in lies.
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,
and none turns his back on evil.
They are all like Sodomc to me;
Jerusalem’s residents are like Gomorrah.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
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.
“Both prophet and priest are ungodly;
even in my house I have found their evil,
declares the Lord.
Therefore their way shall be to them
like slippery paths in the darkness,
into which they shall be driven and fall,
for I will bring disaster upon them
in the year of their punishment,
declares the Lord.
In the prophets of Samaria
I saw an unsavory thing:
they prophesied by Baal
and led my people Israel astray.
But in the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen a horrible thing:
they commit adultery and walk in lies;
they strengthen the hands of evildoers,
so that no one turns from his evil;
all of them have become like Sodom to me,
and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)
The land is full of adulterers;
because of the curse the land lies parched
and the pastures in the wilderness are withered.
The prophets follow an evil course
and use their power unjustly.
“Both prophet and priest are godless;
even in my temple I find their wickedness,”
declares the Lord.
“Therefore their path will become slippery;
they will be banished to darkness
and there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them
in the year they are punished,”
declares the Lord.
“Among the prophets of Samaria
I saw this repulsive thing:
They prophesied by Baal
and led my people Israel astray.
And among the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen something horrible:
They commit adultery and live a lie.
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,
so that not one of them turns from their wickedness.
They are all like Sodom to me;
the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”

NLTNew Living Translation
For the land is full of adultery,
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.
“Even the priests and prophets
are ungodly, wicked men.
I have seen their despicable acts
right here in my own Temple,”
says the Lord.
“Therefore, the paths they take
will become slippery.
They will be chased through the dark,
and there they will fall.
For I will bring disaster upon them
at the time fixed for their punishment.
I, the Lord, have spoken!
“I saw that the prophets of Samaria were terribly evil,
for they prophesied in the name of Baal
and led my people of Israel into sin.
But now I see that the prophets of Jerusalem are even worse!
They commit adultery and love dishonesty.
They encourage those who are doing evil
so that no one turns away from their sins.
These prophets are as wicked
as the people of Sodom and Gomorrah once were.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
For the land is full of adulterers;
for the land mourns because of a curse.
The pastures of the desert are dry,
and their evil has been their way of running,
and their power is not right.
“For both prophet as well as priest are godless,
even in my temple I have found their wickedness,” declares Yahweh.
“Therefore their way will be to them like the slippery places,
they will be pushed in the darkness,
and they will fall into it,
for I will bring disaster on them in the year of their punishment,” declares Yahweh.
“Now in the prophets of Samaria I saw a disgusting thing.
They prophesied by Baal and they caused my people Israel to err.
And in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen something horrible.
They commit adultery, and they walk in lies,
and they make strong the hands of evildoers,
so that they have not turned back each from his wickedness.
All of them have become to me like Sodom,
and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.”

KJV 1900King James Version
For the land is full of adulterers;
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.
For both prophet and priest are profane;
Yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord.
Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness:
They shall be driven on, and fall therein:
For I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.
And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria;
They prophesied in Baal,
And caused my people Israel to err.
I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing:
They commit adultery, and walk in lies:
They strengthen also the hands of evildoers,
That none doth return from his wickedness:
They are all of them unto me as Sodom,
And the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
