Amos 5
12
For I know your transgressions are many and your sins are great, You who adistress the righteous and accept bribes And turn aside the poor in the gate.
Micah 3
11
Her leaders pronounce ajudgment for a bribe, Her bpriests instruct for a price And her prophets divine for money. Yet they lean on the Lord saying, "cIs not the Lord in our midst? Calamity will not come upon us."
