Isaiah 59:14-15
English Standard Version
Judgment and Redemption
14 (A)Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands far away;
for truth has stumbled in the public squares,
and uprightness cannot enter.
15 Truth is lacking,
and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
The Lord saw it, and it displeased him[a]
that there was no justice.

a people laden with iniquity,
(A)offspring of evildoers,
children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken the Lord,
they have (B)despised (C)the Holy One of Israel,

Why will you (F)continue to rebel?
The whole head is sick,

Micah 7:2-5
English Standard Version
2 (A)The godly has perished from the earth,
and (B)there is no one upright among mankind;
(C)they all lie in wait for blood,
and (D)each hunts the other with a net.
3 (E)Their hands are on what is evil, to do it well;
(F)the prince and (G)the judge ask for a bribe,
and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul;
thus they weave it together.
4 The best of them is (H)like a brier,
the most upright of them a thorn hedge.
The day of (I)your watchmen, of your punishment, has come;
(J)now their confusion is at hand.
5 (K)Put no trust in a neighbor;
have no confidence in a friend;
guard (L)the doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms;[a]

Hosea 4:1
English Standard Version
The Lord Accuses Israel
4 (A)Hear the word of the Lord, O children of Israel,
for (B)the Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land.
There is no faithfulness or steadfast love,
and (C)no knowledge of God in the land;
Jeremiah 9:3-8
English Standard Version
3 (A)They bend their tongue like a bow;
falsehood and not truth has grown strong[a] in the land;
for they proceed from evil to evil,
(B)and they do not know me, declares the Lord.
4 (C)Let everyone beware of his neighbor,
and put no trust in any brother,
for every (D)brother is a deceiver,
and every neighbor (E)goes about as a slanderer.
5 Everyone deceives his neighbor,
and no one speaks the truth;
they have taught their tongue to speak lies;
they weary themselves committing iniquity.
6 Heaping oppression upon oppression, and deceit upon deceit,
(F)they refuse to know me, declares the Lord.
7 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Behold, (G)I will refine them and (H)test them,
for what else can I do, (I)because of my people?
8 (J)Their tongue is a deadly arrow;
(K)it speaks deceitfully;
with his mouth (L)each speaks peace to his neighbor,
but in his heart (M)he plans an ambush for him.
