“For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.”
The land filled with adulterers and the drought of the pasture caused by false swearing represents the comprehensive spiritual corruption. The land itself suffers from the moral perversion, suggesting that creation responds to human wickedness. The false prophets' oaths are responsible for the devastation—their lies trigger divine judgment. The verse shows that false prophecy has material, ecological consequences.
