Hosea 4:1-5
Hear the word of the Lord, people of Israel, for the Lord has a case against the inhabitants of the land: There is no truth, no faithful love, and no knowledge of God in the land!Cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.For this reason the land mourns, and everyone who lives in it languishes, along with the wild animals and the birds of the sky; even the fish of the sea disappear.But let no one dispute; let no one argue, for My case is against you priests.You will stumble by day; the prophet will also stumble with you by night. And I will destroy your mother.

Isaiah 5:7-30
For the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah, the plant He delighted in. He looked for justice but saw injustice, for righteousness, but heard cries of wretchedness.Woe to those who add house to house and join field to field until there is no more room and you alone are left in the land.I heard the Lord of Hosts say: Indeed, many houses will become desolate, grand and lovely ones without inhabitants.For a ten-acre vineyard will yield only six gallons, and 10 bushels of seed will yield only one bushel.Woe to those who rise early in the morning in pursuit of beer, who linger into the evening, inflamed by wine.At their feasts they have lyre, harp, tambourine, flute, and wine. They do not perceive the Lord’s actions, and they do not see the work of His hands.Therefore My people will go into exile because they lack knowledge; her dignitaries are starving, and her masses are parched with thirst.Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat and opens wide its enormous jaws, and down go Zion’s dignitaries, her masses, her crowds, and those who carouse in her!Humanity is brought low, man is humbled, and haughty eyes are humbled.But the Lord of Hosts is exalted by His justice, and the holy God is distinguished by righteousness.Lambs will graze as if in their own pastures, and strangers will eat among the ruins of the rich.Woe to those who drag wickedness with cords of deceit and pull sin along with cart ropes,to those who say:“ Let Him hurry up and do His work quickly so that we can see it! Let the plan of the Holy One of Israel take place so that we can know it!”Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.Woe to those who are wise in their own opinion and clever in their own sight.Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine, who are fearless at mixing beer,who acquit the guilty for a bribe and deprive the innocent of justice.Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes straw and as dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will become like something rotten and their blossoms will blow away like dust, for they have rejected the instruction of the Lord of Hosts, and they have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.Therefore the Lord’s anger burns against His people. He raised His hand against them and struck them; the mountains quaked, and their corpses were like garbage in the streets. In all this, His anger is not removed, and His hand is still raised to strike.He raises a signal flag for the distant nations and whistles for them from the ends of the earth. Look— how quickly and swiftly they come!None of them grows weary or stumbles; no one slumbers or sleeps. No belt is loose and no sandal strap broken.Their arrows are sharpened, and all their bows strung. Their horses’ hooves are like flint; their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind.Their roaring is like a lion’s; they roar like young lions; they growl and seize their prey and carry it off, and no one can rescue it.On that day they will roar over it, like the roaring of the sea. When one looks at the land, there will be darkness and distress; light will be obscured by clouds.

Zechariah 5:5-8
Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and told me,“ Look up and see what this is that is approaching.”So I asked,“ What is it?” He responded,“ It’s a measuring basket that is approaching.” And he continued,“ This is their iniquity in all the land.”Then a lead cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting inside the basket.“ This is Wickedness,” he said. He shoved her down into the basket and pushed the lead weight over its opening.
