Old Testament (New King James Version)

The Book of Micah: Chapter 6:9-12

The Lord's voice cries to the city--
Wisdom shall see Your name:
"Hear the Rod! Who has appointed it?

Are there yet the treasures of wickedness
In the house of the wicked,
And the short measure that is an abomination?

Shall I count pure those with the wicked scales,
And with the bag of deceitful weights?

For her rich men are full of violence,
Her inhabitants have spoken lies,
And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

New Testament (New King James Version)

The Gospel According to Mark: Chapter 11:27-33

Then they came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to Him. And they said to Him, "By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority to do these things?" But Jesus answered and said to them, "I also will ask you one question; then answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things: The baptism of John--was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me." And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?' But if we say, 'From men' "--they feared the people, for all counted John to have been a prophet indeed. So they answered and said to Jesus, "We do not know." And Jesus answered and said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."
