## Jeremiah 23:14-16 in Context (Verses 11–19 KJV)
 
 [11 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/11) For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/12) Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery *ways* in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, *even* the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/13) And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.*
 
 [14 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/14) I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.*
 
 [15 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/15) Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.*
 
 [16 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/16) Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, *and* not out of the mouth of the LORD.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/17) They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.*
 
 [18 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/18) For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard *it*?*
 
 [19 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/19) Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
 
[Jeremiah 22](/kjv/jeremiah/22) [Jeremiah 24](/kjv/jeremiah/24)
