36:3 The words he speaks are sinful and deceitful;

he does not care about doing what is wise and right.

Psalms 81:10-11

81:10 I am the Lord, your God,

the one who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

Open your mouth wide and I will fill it!’

81:11 But my people did not obey me;

Israel did not submit to me.

Amos 1:11

1:11 This is what the Lord says:

“Because Edom has committed three crimes –

make that four! – I will not revoke my decree of judgment.

He chased his brother with a sword;

he wiped out his allies.

In his anger he tore them apart without stopping to rest;

in his fury he relentlessly attacked them.

and you deny justice to the needy at the city gate.
