Isaiah 59:6-15
Their webs cannot become clothing, and they cannot cover themselves with their works. Their works are sinful works, and violent acts are in their hands.Their feet run after evil, and they rush to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are sinful thoughts; ruin and wretchedness are in their paths.They have not known the path of peace, and there is no justice in their ways. They have made their roads crooked; no one who walks on them will know peace.Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We hope for light, but there is darkness; for brightness, but we live in the night.We grope along a wall like the blind; we grope like those without eyes. We stumble at noon as though it were twilight; we are like the dead among those who are healthy.We all growl like bears and moan like doves. We hope for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far from us.For our transgressions have multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us. For our transgressions are with us, and we know our iniquities:transgression and deception against the Lord, turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering lying words from the heart.Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far off. For truth has stumbled in the public square, and honesty cannot enter.Truth is missing, and whoever turns from evil is plundered. The Lord saw that there was no justice, and He was offended.

Zephaniah 3:1-3
Woe to the city that is rebellious and defiled, the oppressive city!She has not obeyed; she has not accepted discipline. She has not trusted in Yahweh; she has not drawn near to her God.The princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are wolves of the night, which leave nothing for the morning.
