Judgment on Israel

6 Thus says the Lord:

ⁱ“For three transgressions of Israel,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because ^jthey sell the righteous for ^ksilver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals—
7 those who trample the head of the poor ^linto the dust of the earth
and ^mturn aside the way of the afflicted;
ⁿa man and his father go in to the same girl,
so that my holy name is profaned;

Micah 3:11

11 ^oIts heads give judgment for a bribe;
^pits priests teach for a price;
^qits prophets practice divination for money;
^ryet they lean on the Lord and ^ssay,
“Is not the Lord in the midst of us?
^tNo disaster shall come upon us.”

Micah 7:3

3 ^uTheir hands are on what is evil, to do it well;
^vthe prince and ^wthe judge ask for a bribe,
and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul;
thus they weave it together.

1 Corinthians 6:9

9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous ^{▼▼Or wrongdoers} will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: ^yneither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, ^{▼▼The two Greek terms translated by this phrase refer to the passive and active partners in consensual homosexual acts}
