For they have healedª°¹ the hurtª of the daughterª of my peopleª slightly,ª° saying,ª° Peace,ª peace;ª when [there is] no¹ peace.ª" {Jer 8:10-11} + "Mine heartª withinª me is brokenª° because of the prophets;ª all¹ my bonesª shake;ª° I am¹ like a drunkenª man,ª and like a manª whom wineª hath overcome,ª° becauseª¹ of the LORD,ª and because¹¹ of the wordsª of his holiness.ª ... Therefore¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hostsª concerning¹ the prophets;ª Behold,¹ I will feedª° them with wormwood,ª and make them drinkª° the waterª of gall:ª for¹ from¹¹ the prophetsª of Jerusalemª is profanenessª gone forthª° into all¹ the land.ª" {Jer 23:9-15} + "Now the sonsª of Eliª [were] sonsª of Belial;ª they knewª° not¹¹ the LORD.ª" {1Sm 2:12} + "But theyª also¹ have erredª° through wine,ª and through strong drinkª are out of the way;ª° the priestª and the prophetª have erredª° through strong drink,ª they are swallowed upª° ofª wine,ª they are out of the wayª° through¹ strong drink;ª they errª° in vision,ª they stumbleª° [in] judgment.ª" {Isa 28:7} + "For¹ the LORDª hath poured outª° upon¹ you the spiritª of deep sleep,ª and hath closedª°¹ your eyes:ª¹ the prophetsª and your rulers,ª the seersª hath he covered.ª°" {Isa 29:10} + "All¹ ye beastsª of the field,ª comeª° to devour,ª° [yea], all¹ ye beastsª in the forest.ª ...
