- "Hearª° ye this,¹ O houseª of Jacob,ª which are calledª° by the nameª of Israel,ª and are come forthª° out of the watersª¹ of Judah,ª which swearª° by the nameª of the LORD,ª and make mentionª° of the Godª of Israel,ª [but] not¹ in truth,ª nor¹ in righteousness.ª" {Isa 48:1} + "For¹ [there is] no¹ faithfulnessª° in their mouth;ª their inward² part¹ [is] very wickedness;ª their throatª [is] an openª° sepulchre;ª they flatterª° with their tongue.ª" {Psa 5:9} + "[[To the chief Musicianª° upon¹ Sheminith,ª A Psalmª of David.]]ª Help,ª° LORD;ª for¹ the godly manª ceaseth;ª° for¹ the faithfulª° failª° from among the childrenª¹ of men.ª ... They speakª° vanityª every oneª with¹ his neighbour:ª [with] flatteringª lipsª [and] with a double² heartª do they speak.ª°" {Psa 12:1-2} + "Run ye to and froª° through the streetsª of Jerusalem,ª and seeª° now,¹ and know,ª° and seekª° in the broad placesª thereof, if¹ ye can findª° a man,ª if¹ there beª [any] that executethª° judgment,ª that seekethª° the truth;ª and I will pardonª° it. ... And though¹ they say,ª° The LORDª liveth;ª surely¹ they swearª° falsely.ª" {Jer 5:1-2} + "But thou shalt sayª° unto¹ them, This¹ [is] a nationª that¹ obeyethª° not¹ the voiceª of the LORDª their God,ª nor¹ receivethª° correction:ª truthª is perished,ª° and is cut offª° from their mouth.ª¹" {Jer 7:28} + "Hearª° the wordª of the LORD,ª ye childrenª of Israel:ª for¹ the LORDª hath a controversyª with¹ the inhabitantsª° of the land,ª because¹ [there is] no¹ truth,ª nor¹ mercy,ª nor¹ knowledgeª of Godª in the land.ª ... By swearing,ª° and lying,ª° and killing,ª° and stealing,ª° and committing adultery,ª° they break out,ª° and bloodª touchethª° blood.ª" {Hsa 4:1-2} + "The goodª [man] is perishedª° out of¹ the earth:ª and [there is] none¹ uprightª among men:ª they all¹ lie in waitª° for blood;ª they huntª° every manª¹ his brotherª with a net.ª" {Mic 7:2}
