Madoff, the SEC and the IRS: Another perspective

Mic 6:8 - 14

He has shown you, O man, what is good.
What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, To love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
Yahweh's voice calls to the city, And wisdom sees your name: "Listen to the rod, And he who appointed it.
Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, And a short ephah that is accursed?
Shall I be pure with dishonest scales, And with a bag of deceitful weights?
Her rich men are full of violence, Her inhabitants speak lies, And their tongue is deceitful in their speech.
Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins. You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your humiliation will be in your midst. You will store up, but not save; And that which you save I will give up to the sword. . . . "
