10 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.

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.

10 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.

10 For the land is full of adulterers;

For because of a curse the land mourns.

The pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up.

Their course of life is evil,

And their might is not right.

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

Because of this, the Lord cursed the land.

It has become a very sad place,

and the pastures have dried up.

The people are evil

and use their power in the wrong way.

10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. And their course is evil, and their might is not right;

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.

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. 

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

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 has been evil,

and their might is not right.

10 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.

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.

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.
