Isaiah 59:2-3

2 ^abut your iniquities have made a separation
between you and your God,
and your sins have hidden his face from you
so that he does not hear.
3 ^bFor your hands are defiled with blood
and your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies;
your tongue mutters wickedness.

Jeremiah 7:8-10

8 “Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail. 9 ^cWill you steal, murder, commit adultery, ^dswear falsely, ^emake offerings to Baal, ^fand go after other gods that you have not known, 10 and then come and stand before me in this house, ^gwhich is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—only to go on doing all these abominations?

Micah 3:9-11

9 ^hHear this, you heads of the house of Jacob
and rulers of the house of Israel,
ⁱwho detest justice
and make crooked all that is straight,
10 ^jwho build Zion with blood
and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 ^kIts heads give judgment for a bribe;
^lits priests teach for a price;
^mits prophets practice divination for money;
ⁿyet they lean on the Lord and ^osay,
“Is not the Lord in the midst of us?
^pNo disaster shall come upon us.”
