Exegesis

The opening prepositional phrase u-vi-nevi'ei Yerushalayim {וּבִנְבִאֵי יְרוּשָׁלִַם | û-ḇin-ḇiʾ-ê yə-ru-ša-la-yim} ‘and in the prophets of Jerusalem’ establishes the focus of the critique.

In contextJeremiah 23:14

And among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a dreadful thing: they commit adultery and walk in deceit, and they bolster evildoers so that no one turns from his evil . All of them are to me like Sodom , and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.
