- "For¹ from the leastª¹ of them even unto¹ the greatestª of them every one¹ [is] given²° to¹ covetousness;ª and from the prophetª¹ even unto¹ the priestª every one¹ dealethª° falsely.ª" {Jer 6:13} + "The kingsª of the earthª set²° themselves,¹ and the rulersª° take counselª° together,ª against¹ the LORD,ª and against¹ his anointed,ª [saying], ... Let us break²° their bands² asunder,ª°¹¹ and cast awayª° their cordsª from¹ us." {Psa 2:2-3} + "Behold,¹ the princesª of Israel,ª every oneª were¹ in thee to their powerª to¹ shedª° blood.ª ... Thou hast despisedª° mine holy things,ª and hast profanedª° my sabbaths.ª" {Ezk 22:6-8} + "[There is] a conspiracyª of her prophetsª in the midstª thereof, like a roaringª° lionª raveningª° the prey;ª they have devouredª° souls;ª they have takenª° the treasureª and precious things;ª they have made her manyª° widowsª in the midstª thereof. ... The peopleª of the landª have used¹ oppression,ª²° and exercisedª° robbery,ª and have vexedª° the poorª and needy:ª yea, they have oppressedª° the strangerª wrongfully.ª¹" {Ezk 22:25-29} + "And I said,ª° Hear,ª° I pray you,¹ O headsª of Jacob,ª and ye princesª of the houseª of Israel;ª [Is it] not¹ for you to knowª°¹ judgment?ª ... Then¹ shall they cryª° unto¹ the LORD,ª but he will not¹ hearª° them: he will even hideª° his faceª from¹ them at that¹ time,ª as¹ they have behaved themselves illª° in their doings.ª" {Mic 3:1-4} + "The headsª thereof judgeª° for reward,ª and the priestsª thereof teachª° for hire,ª and the prophetsª thereof divineª° for money:ª yet will they leanª° upon¹ the LORD,ª and say,ª° [Is] not¹ the LORDª amongª us? none¹ evilª can comeª° upon¹ us." {Mic 3:11} + "That they may do evilª¹ with both handsª earnestly,ª° the princeª asketh,ª° and the judgeª° [asketh] for a reward;ª and the greatª [man], he¹ utterethª° his mischievousª desire:ª so they wrap it up.ª° ... The bestª of them [is] as a brier:ª the most uprightª [is sharper] than a thorn hedge:ª¹ the dayª of thy watchmenª° [and] thy visitationª cometh;ª° now¹ shall be¹ their perplexity.ª" {Mic 7:3-4} + "Her princesª withinª her [are] roaringª° lions;ª her judgesª° [are] eveningª wolves;ª they gnaw not the bonesª°¹ till the morrow.ª ... The justª LORDª [is] in the midstª thereof; he will not¹ doª° iniquity:ª every² morningª doth he bringª° his judgmentª to light,ª he failethª° not;¹ but the unjustª knowethª° no¹ shame.ª" {Zph 3:3-5} + "Thenª saidª° Jesusª unto his²¹ disciples,ª Verilyª I sayª° unto you,ª Thatª a rich manª shall hardlyª enterª° intoª the¹ kingdomª of heaven.ª ...
