Jeremiah 4:22
New American Standard Bible
22 “(A)For My people are foolish,
They do not know Me;
They are foolish children
And have no understanding.
They are skillful at (B)doing evil,
But they do not know how to do good.”
Malachi 2:7-8
New American Standard Bible
7 For the lips of a priest should maintain (A)knowledge, and people should (B)seek [a]instruction from his mouth; for he is the (C)messenger of the Lord of armies. 8 But as for you, you have turned aside from the way; you have caused many to (D)stumble [b]by the instruction; you have (E)ruined the covenant of Levi,” says the Lord of armies.
