But, to the pastors who are false and forsake My covenant by teaching lies and saying things I have not said, who teach that a man must obey wicked laws and all authority is of God, I send rebuke. The LORD says to the pastors, A ruler will serve me by obeying my eternal laws in every part of his life. If he will not punish the wicked as I have commanded, then I will exact My punishment upon that ruler, but the people will suffer. If a thief will not restore and repent then he shall be killed. If a man commits murder he shall not be allowed to live but shall be put to death. If two or three witnesses accuse an unrepentant sodomite then he shall be put to death. If the judge will not protect the poor and deliver those that are oppressed by those that hate My laws, then I will take away his judgeship and remove his protection and deliver him into the hands of the oppressors. The man who is in authority will use a just and righteous balance and weigh out equity and justice. If a ruler uses a false balance, weighing the laws of men as more weighty than the Laws of God, then this is a false ruler and the LORD will overthrow him and judge him as less than worthless, something to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
