Behold, the rulers of Israel have brought every man his power, to shed blood in thee. In thee have they despised father and mother, in thee have they oppressed the stranger, in thee have they vexed the widow and the fatherless. Thou hast despised my Sanctuary, and unhallowed my Sabbath. Murderers are there in thee, that shed blood, and eat upon the hills, and in thee they use unhappiness. In thee have they discovered their fathers' shame, in thee have they vexed women in their sickness. Every man hath dealt shamefully with his neighbour's wife, and abominably defiled his daughter-in-law. In thee hath every man forced his own sister, even his father's daughter. Yea, gifts have been received in thee to shed blood. Thou hast taken usury and increase, thou hast oppressed thy neighbours by extortion, and forgotten me, sayeth the LORD God.

Thy rulers in thee are like ravishing wolves, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, for their own covetous lucre. read more.
As for thy Prophets, they daub with untempered clay, they see vanities, and prophesy lies unto thee, saying, 'The LORD God sayeth so,' where as the LORD hath not spoken. The people in the land useth wicked extortion and robbery. They vex the poor and needy and oppress the stranger against right.
