Key Passages
“For they know not how to do right,”declares the LORD.“They store up violence and destructionin their citadels.”
Though grace is shown to the wicked man,he does not learn righteousness.In the land of righteousness he acts unjustlyand fails to see the majesty of the LORD.
They say to the seers,“Stop seeing visions!”and to the prophets,“Do not prophesy to us the truth!Speak to us pleasant words;prophesy illusions.
So justice is turned away,and righteousness stands at a distance.For truth has stumbled in the public square,and honesty cannot enter.
