• Proverbs 29:2
  When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;
  But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
  
   
• Isaiah 1:4-6
  Alas, sinful nation,
  A people laden with iniquity,
  A brood of evildoers,
  Children who are corrupters!
  They have forsaken the LORD,
  They have provoked to anger
  The Holy One of Israel,
  They have turned away backward.
  Why should you be stricken again?
  You will revolt more and more.
  The whole head is sick,
  And the whole heart faints.
  From the sole of the foot even to the head,
  There is no soundness in it,
  But wounds and bruises and putrefying sores;
  They have not been closed or bound up,
  Or soothed with ointment.
  
   
• Isaiah 1:23
  Your princes are rebellious,
  And companions of thieves;
  Everyone loves bribes,
  And follows after rewards.
  They do not defend the fatherless,
  Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.
  
   
• Ezekiel 34:2-4
  'Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD to the shepherds: 'Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks? You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you slaughter the fatlings, but you do not feed the flock. The weak you have not strengthened, nor have you healed those who were sick, nor bound up the broken, nor brought back what was driven away, nor sought what was lost; but with force and cruelty you have ruled them.
   
• Ezekiel 34:6-10
  My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill; yes, My flock was scattered over the whole face of the earth, and no one was seeking or searching for them.” ‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD: “As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “surely because My flock became a prey, and My flock became food for every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, nor did My shepherds search for My flock, but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock”— therefore, O shepherds, hear the word of the LORD! Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require My flock at their hand; I will cause them to cease feeding the sheep, and the shepherds shall feed themselves no more; for I will deliver My flock from their mouths, that they may no longer be food for them.”
   
• Isaiah 3:4-5
  " I will give children to be their princes,
  And babes shall rule over them.
  The people will be oppressed,
  Every one by another and every one by his neighbor;
  The child will be insolent toward the elder,
  And the base toward the honorable."

• Romans 1:18-23
  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
