Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.

Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.

For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
