Ezekiel 22:26 Her
priests have
violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have
put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed [
difference] between the unclean and the clean, and have
hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and
I am profaned among them.
Leviticus 10:10-

they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
Hosea 4:6 My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge:
because thou hast rejected knowledge,
I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me:
seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Micah 3:9-
11 Hear this,
I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel,
that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity. ... The
heads thereof judge for reward,
and the priests thereof teach for hire,
and the prophets thereof divine for money:
yet will they lean upon the LORD,
and say, [
Is] not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.
Zephaniah 3:4 Her prophets [
are]
light [
and] treacherous persons:
her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
Haggai 2:11-
13 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests [
concerning] the law, saying, ... Then said Haggai, If [
one that is] unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
Malachi 2:6-
9 The
law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips:
he walked with me in peace and equity,
and did turn many away from iniquity. ... Therefore have I also
made you contemptible and base
before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways,
but have been partial in the law.
2 Timothy 2:24-
25 And
the servant of the Lord
must not
strive;
but be gentle unto all [
men],
apt to teach,
patient, ...
In meekness
instructing those that oppose themselves;
if God
peradventure will give them
repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
Titus 1:9-
11 Holding fast the faithful word
as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and
to convince the gainsayers. ... Whose
mouths must be stopped, who
subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for
filthy lucre's sake.
