Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"Concerning the prophets. My heart within me is broken, all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of Jehovah, and because of his holy words." — Jeremiah 23:9 (ASV)

Because of the prophets - Rather, concerning “the prophets.” These words should come first, as being the title of this portion of the prophecy (Jeremiah 23:9–40).
