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.

11 “Both prophet and priest are godless;

even in my temple I find their wickedness,”

declares the Lord.

10 For the land is full of adulterers;

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

11 For both prophet and priest are profane;

Yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord.

10 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.

The pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up.

Their course of life is evil,

And their might is not right.

Yes, in My house I have found their wickedness,” says the Lord.

10 The land of Judah is full of people who are guilty of adultery.

11 “Both the prophets and the priests live as if there were no God.

10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of execration the land mourneth. The pastures of the wilderness are dried up; for their course is evil, and their force is not right. 11 For both prophet and priest are profane: even in my house have I found their wickedness, saith Jehovah.

10 The land is filled with adulterers. 

The land mourns because of the curse. 

Pastures in the wilderness have dried up. 

The people are evil, 

and they use their strength to do the wrong things. 

11 The prophets and priests are godless. 

Even in my temple I’ve found them doing evil,” declares the Lord. 

10 For the land is full of adulterers;

the land mourns because of the curse,

and the grazing lands in the wilderness have dried up.

Their way of life has become evil,

and their power is not rightly used

11 because both prophet and priest are ungodly,

even in My house I have found their evil.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

10 For the land is full of adulterers;

because of the curse the land mourns,

and the pastures of the wilderness are dried up.

even in my house I have found their wickedness,

and their evil has been their way of running,

and their power is not right.

11 “For both prophet as well as priest are godless,

even in my temple I have found their wickedness,” declares Yahweh.

10 The land is full of people

who aren’t faithful to the Lord.

Now the land is under his curse.

And that’s why it is thirsty for water.

That’s why the grasslands in the desert are dry.

The prophets are leading sinful lives.

They don’t use their power in the right way.

11 “Prophets and priests alike are ungodly,”

announces the Lord.

“Even in my temple I find them sinning.

10 For the land is full of adulterers;

For the land mourns because of the curse.

The pastures of the wilderness have dried up.

Their course also is evil

And their might is not right.

Even in My house I have found their wickedness,” declares the Lord.
