Jeremiah 23:12 in Context — Jeremiah 23

10 Pois a terra está cheia de adúlteros: e por causa da maldição a terra lamenta; as cabanas do deserto se secaram; pois o percurso deles tem sido mau, e a força deles não é correta.

11 Pois tanto o profeta como o sacerdote são corruptos; até em minha casa achei sua maldade,diz o SENHOR.

12 Portanto o caminho deles lhes será como lugares escorregadios na escuridão; serão empurrados, e nele cairão; porque eu trarei mal sobre eles [no] ano de sua punição,diz o SENHOR.

13 Nos profetas de Samaria vi coisas desagradáveis: profetizavam por Baal, e faziam errar a meu povo Israel.

14 Mas nos profetas de Jerusalém tenho vejo coisas horríveis: cometem adultérios, e andam com falsidade, e fortalecem as mãos dos malfeitores, para que ninguém se converta de sua maldade. Para mim, todos eles são como Sodoma, e seus moradores como Gomorra.
