“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.”
God's promise to feed the false prophets with bitter food and poisoned water represents the reversal of blessing into curse. The poisoned water suggests that their very sustenance will become destructive. The judgment emphasizes that those who lead others astray will themselves be destroyed. The verse shows that judgment extends into the material existence of false prophets.
