Micah 3:9-11
New American Standard Bible 1995
9 Now hear this, (A)heads of the house of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel,
Who (B)abhor justice
And twist everything that is straight,
10 Who (C)build Zion with bloodshed
And Jerusalem with violent injustice.
11 Her leaders pronounce (D)judgment for a bribe,
Her (E)priests instruct for a price
And her prophets divine for money.
Yet they lean on the Lord saying,
“(F)Is not the Lord in our midst?
Calamity will not come upon us.”
Zephaniah 3:4

They have done violence to the law.

Malachi 2:6-8
New American Standard Bible 1995
6 [a](A)True instruction was in his mouth and unrighteousness was not found on his lips; he walked (B)with Me in peace and uprightness, and he (C)turned many back from iniquity. 7 For the lips of a priest should preserve (D)knowledge, and [b]men should (E)seek [c]instruction from his mouth; for he is the (F)messenger of the Lord of hosts. 8 But as for you, you have turned aside from the way; you have caused many to (G)stumble [d]by the instruction; you have [e](H)corrupted the covenant of Levi,” says the Lord of hosts.
