Micah 7:3-7
Their hands are on what is evil, to do it well; the prince and the judge ask for a bribe, and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul; thus they weave it together.The best of them is like a brier, the most upright of them a thorn hedge. The day of your watchmen, of your punishment, has come; now their confusion is at hand.Put no trust in a neighbor; have no confidence in a friend; guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms;for the son treats the father with contempt, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.

Hosea 11:12-12:1

Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with blood.As robbers lie in wait for a man, so the priests band together; they murder on the way to Shechem; they commit villainy.In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; Ephraim’s whoredom is there; Israel is defiled.

Jeremiah 9:2-6
Oh that I had in the desert a travelers’ lodging place, that I might leave my people and go away from them! For they are all adulterers, a company of treacherous men.They bend their tongue like a bow; falsehood and not truth has grown strong in the land; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know me, declares the Lord.Let everyone beware of his neighbor, and put no trust in any brother, for every brother is a deceiver, and every neighbor goes about as a slanderer.Everyone deceives his neighbor, and no one speaks the truth; they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves committing iniquity.Heaping oppression upon oppression, and deceit upon deceit, they refuse to know me, declares the Lord.
