In fact, one of the reasons why Jehovah rejected fleshly Israel was that their priests and shepherds failed to judge with righteousness and treated the people with harshness. ​ — Jeremiah 22: 3, 5, 25; 23: 1, 2; Ezekiel 34: 1 - 4; Malachi 2: 8, 9.
Tegelikult üks põhjus, miks Jehoova lihaliku Iisraeli hülgas, oli see, et nende preestrid ja karjased ei mõistnud kohut õigluses ja nad kohtlesid rahvast karmilt. — Jeremija 22: 3, 5, 25; 23: 1, 2; Hesekiel 34: 1 — 4; Malakia 2: 8, 9.
