‏ Jeremiah 23:10-11

v. 10: The land is full of adultery and evil, and because of this, God’s curse is on it. The pastures are dried up, and everything is suffering. The prophets and priests are corrupt, and their wickedness is spreading throughout the land. God is very displeased with them (For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth... both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord, Jeremiah 23:10-11 ^a).

v. 11: Even in the temple, the prophets and priests are doing wrong. God says He has seen their wickedness even in His own house. Their actions make God’s judgment certain. He will bring disaster upon them, and they will be forced out into dark and slippery paths where they will fall and be punished (Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness... I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the Lord, Jeremiah 23:12 ^b).
