Jeremiah 23:15 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

15Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets:

“I will make them eat bitter food

and drink poisoned water,

because from the prophets of Jerusalem

ungodliness has spread throughout the land.”

15Therefore this is what the Lord of armies says concerning the prophets:

‘Behold, I am going to feed them wormwood

And make them drink poisonous water,

For from the prophets of Jerusalem

Ungodliness has spread into all the land.’ ”

15Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets,

‘Behold, I am going to feed them wormwood

And make them drink poisonous water,

For from the prophets of Jerusalem

Pollution has gone forth into all the land.’ ”

15Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts in regard to the prophets,

‘Behold, I am going to feed them [the bitterness of] wormwood

And make them drink the poisonous water [of gall],

For from the [counterfeit] prophets of Jerusalem

Profaneness and ungodliness have spread into all the land.’ ”

15Therefore this is what the Lord of Hosts says concerning the prophets:

“I will feed them wormwood

and give them poisoned water to drink,

for from the prophets of Jerusalem

ungodliness has spread throughout the land.”

15So the Lord who rules over all speaks about the prophets. He says,

“I will make them eat bitter food.

I will make them drink poisoned water.

The prophets of Jerusalem have spread

their ungodly ways all through the land.”
