You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. 4 You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God?

Every brother utterly deceives, and every friend spreads slander. 4 Each one deceives his neighbor, and they do not speak the truth. They have trained their tongues to speak lies and exhaust themselves with wrongdoing. 5 You live in the midst of deceit, and because of deceit, they refuse to know me, declares the Lord. 6 Therefore, this is what the Lord of Hosts says: Behold, I will refine them and test them, for what else can I do because of the sin of my people? 7 Their tongues are a sharpened arrow; deceit pours from their mouths. They speak peace to their neighbor, but in their hearts, they set up an ambush. 8 Should I not punish them for these things? declares the Lord. Should I not avenge myself on such a nation as this? 9 I will raise weeping and wailing for the mountains and a dirge for the pastures in the wilderness, because they are burned up and desolate; no one passes through, and cattle cannot be heard anymore—birds of the sky and animals alike have fled and are gone.

  • Isa 59:1-8 : 1 Look, the arm of the LORD is not too weak to save, nor is His ear too dull to hear. 2 But your iniquities have created a divide between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear. 3 For your hands are stained with blood, and your fingers with guilt. Your lips have spoken falsehood, and your tongue mutters injustice. 4 No one calls for justice, and no one pleads with integrity. They rely on empty words and speak lies; they conceive trouble and give birth to iniquity. 5 They hatch the eggs of vipers and spin spider webs. Whoever eats their eggs dies, and when one is crushed, a viper hatches. 6 Their webs will not become clothing, and they cannot cover themselves with their works. Their deeds are works of iniquity, and acts of violence are in their hands. 7 Their feet run to do evil, and they are quick to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are sinful; ruin and destruction are in their paths. 8 The way of peace they do not know, and there is no justice in their ways. They have made their paths crooked; whoever walks in them does not know peace.

Will such a person live? He will not! Because he has committed all these abominations, he will surely be put to death, and his blood will be on his own head.

  • Hos 4:1-3 : 1 Hear the word of the LORD, O people of Israel!

  • Mic 3:8-9 : 8 But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the LORD, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin. 9 Hear this, leaders of the house of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel, you who despise justice and twist all that is right: 10 You build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with iniquity. 11 Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets practice divination for silver. Yet they lean on the LORD, saying, 'Is not the LORD among us? No disaster will come upon us.' 12 Therefore because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins, and the mountain of the temple will become a high place overgrown with thickets.

  • Rom 2:17-29 : 17 Now you, if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law and boast in God, 18 and know His will and approve things that are excellent, being instructed from the law, 19 and are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those in darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the form of knowledge and truth— 21 You then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? 22 You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? 24 For as it is written, 'The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.' 25 Circumcision indeed has value if you obey the law, but if you are a lawbreaker, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. 26 So, if those who are uncircumcised keep the righteous requirements of the law, will their uncircumcision not be regarded as circumcision? 27 The one who is not physically circumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker. 28 For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. 29 But a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. Such a person’s praise is not from people, but from God.

I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
  • Eph 5:5-7 : 5 For you know this with certainty, that no sexually immoral, impure, or greedy person—who is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore, do not be partners with them.
  • 2 Tim 3:2-5 : 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and unholy. 3 They will be unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, and hostile to what is good. 4 They will be traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. 5 They will have a form of godliness but deny its power. Stay away from such people.
