Hosea 7:1-7
When I would heal Israel, then is the iniquity of Ephraim uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief entereth in, and the troop of robbers ravageth without.And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now have their own doings beset them about; they are before my face.They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.They are all adulterers; they are as an oven heated by the baker; he ceaseth to stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough, until it be leavened.On the day of our king the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with scoffers.For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.

James 5:1-4
Come now, ye rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you.Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth- eaten.Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have laid up your treasure in the last days.Behold, the hire of the laborers who mowed your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth out: and the cries of them that reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

Micah 3:9-11
Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, that abhor justice, and pervert all equity.They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet they lean upon Jehovah, and say, Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us.

James 2:6-7
But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment- seats?Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which ye are called?
