Prophets and Judges (25)

The prophets will have a role in exposing judges who are unjust. Micah challenged the judges of Jerusalem for accepting bribes.

Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money (Mic 3:11)

Jeremiah warned the judges against protecting evil people and not establishing justice.

How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually
the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?
The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what kind of wisdom do they have?
From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all
practice deceit.
Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says the LORD (Jer 8:8-12).

The prophets will expose judges that are not honouring God and
his law.
