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

11For zboth prophet and priest are profane;

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

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.

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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

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

because both prophet and priest are ungodly,

even in my house I have found their evil.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

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.

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.
