Canaan, land of » Miscellaneous topics » Polluted, by sin
Lift up your eyes to the bare hills and see. You have had sex with men in every place. You sat by the roadside waiting for them like a nomad in the desert. You have defiled (corrupted) (profaned) the land with your prostitution and wickedness.
They shed innocent blood, the blood of their own sons and daughters whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land became polluted with blood.
I brought you into a fertile land to eat its fruit and its produce. You came and made my land unclean. You made my heritage disgusting.
The land has become unclean. I will punish it for its sins. The land will vomit out those who live in it.
Do not defile the land where you are living! I am Jehovah and I live among the people of Israel.
The inhabitants of the earth pollute the earth. They transgress laws and violate statutes. They break the everlasting covenant.
First, I will have them pay twice as much for their wickedness and their sin, because they have polluted my land. They have filled my property with the lifeless statues of their detestable and disgusting idols.
Get up and go because this is not your resting-place. Uncleanness brings on destruction, a painful destruction.

Micah » One of the minor prophets » The oppressions of the covetous
Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning comes they do it because they are able to (it is in the power of their hands). They covet fields and seize them. They covet houses and confiscate them! They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. Therefore Jehovah says: Behold, against this family I plan bad things, from which you will not remove the burden. You will not be able to show pride for it is an evil time. read more.
In that day they will taunt you and speak mournfully with sorrow and much grief: 'We are utterly ruined! He exchanged the portion of my people and removed it from me. He divided our fields and gave them to the apostate.' You will not have any who cast the measuring line by lot in the assembly of Jehovah. Do not prophesy to me. They prophesy. But they will not prophesy these things. Will it be said, O house of Jacob, 'Is the Spirit of Jehovah impatient? Are these his doings? Do my words not do good for he who walks uprightly?' Lately my people have become an enemy! You strip the robe off the garment from passersby, from men returning from war. You evict the women of my people from their pleasant houses. You remove the glory of their young children from generation to generation. Get up and go because this is not your resting-place. Uncleanness brings on destruction, a painful destruction. If a man who is a constant liar tells a lie saying: 'I will prophesy to you about wine and of strong drink;' he would be the prophet of this people.
