Hear Yahweh’s word, you children of Israel; for Yahweh has a charge against the inhabitants of the land:“ Indeed there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.There is cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; they break boundaries, and bloodshed causes bloodshed.Therefore the land will mourn, and everyone who dwells in it will waste away, with all living things in her, even the animals of the field and the birds of the sky, yes, the fish of the sea also die.“ Yet let no man bring a charge, neither let any man accuse; for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest.You will stumble in the day, and the prophet will also stumble with you in the night; and I will destroy your mother.

Isaiah 5:7-30
For the vineyard of Yahweh of Armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry of distress.Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the middle of the land!In my ears, Yahweh of Armies says:“ Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.”Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink, who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them!The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they don’t respect the work of Yahweh, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge. Their honorable men are famished, and their multitudes are parched with thirst.Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it.So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;but Yahweh of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope,who say,“ Let him make haste, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!”Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust, because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.Therefore Yahweh’s anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the middle of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.He will lift up a banner to the nations from far away, and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth. Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.No one shall be weary nor stumble among them; no one shall slumber nor sleep, neither shall the belt of their waist be untied, nor the strap of their sandals be broken,whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses’ hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.Their roaring will be like a lioness. They will roar like young lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey and carry it off, and there will be no one to deliver.They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress. The light is darkened in its clouds.

Zechariah 5:5-8
Then the angel who talked with me came forward, and said to me,“ Lift up now your eyes, and see what this is that is appearing.”I said,“ What is it?” He said,“ This is the ephah basket that is appearing.” He said moreover,“ This is their appearance in all the land( and behold, a talent of lead was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting in the middle of the ephah basket.”He said,“ This is Wickedness;” and he threw her down into the middle of the ephah basket; and he threw the weight of lead on its mouth.
