Isaiah 56:10-11

10 ^aHis watchmen are blind;
they are all without knowledge;
they are all silent ^bdogs;
they cannot bark,
dreaming, lying down,
loving to slumber.
11 ^cThe dogs have a mighty appetite;
they never have enough.
But ^dthey are shepherds who have no understanding;
they have all turned to their own way,
^eeach to his own gain, one and all.

Ezekiel 22:25

25 ^fThe conspiracy of her prophets in her midst is ^glike a roaring lion ^htearing the prey; they have devoured human lives; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst.

Micah 3:5

5 Thus says the Lord concerning ⁱthe prophets
who lead my people astray,
^jwho cry “Peace”
when they have something to eat,
but declare war against him
who puts nothing into their mouths.

Zephaniah 3:3-4

3 ^kHer officials within her
are roaring lions;
her judges are ^levening wolves
that leave nothing till the morning.
4 ^mHer prophets are fickle, treacherous men;
ⁿher priests ^oprofane what is holy;
they do violence to the law.

Acts 20:29-31

29 I ^pknow that after my departure ^qfierce wolves will come in among you, ^rnot sparing the flock; 30 and ^sfrom among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. 31 Therefore ^tbe alert, remembering that ^ufor three years I did not cease night or day ^vto admonish every one ^wwith tears.

Revelation of John 17:6

6 And I saw the woman, drunk ^xwith the blood of the saints, the blood of ^ythe martyrs of Jesus. ^{▼▼Greek the witnesses to Jesus}

When I saw her, I marveled greatly.
