11For zboth prophet and priest are profane;

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

12Wherefore btheir way shall be unto them as slippery ways cin the darkness:

They shall be driven on, and fall therein:

dFor I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.

13And I have seen ||†efolly in the prophets of fSamaria;

gThey prophesied in Baal,

And hcaused my people Israel to err.

14I have seen also in ithe prophets of Jerusalem ||an horrible thing:

kThey commit adultery, and lwalk in lies:

They mstrengthen also the hands of evildoers,

That none doth return from his wickedness:

They are all of them unto me nas Sodom,

And nthe inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

“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)

“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.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

because both prophet and priest are ungodly,

even in my house I have found their evil.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

Therefore, their way will seem

like slippery paths in the gloom.

They will be driven away and fall down there,

for I will bring disaster on them,

the year of their punishment.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

Among the prophets of Samaria

I saw something disgusting:

They prophesied by Baal

and led my people Israel astray.

Among the prophets of Jerusalem also

I saw a horrible thing:

They commit adultery and walk in lies.

They strengthen the hands of evildoers,

and none turns his back on evil.

They are all like Sodom to me;

Jerusalem’s residents are like Gomorrah.

NLTNew Living Translation

“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 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.”
