“Unrighteousness of Your Lawyers and Your Judges”

Brant Gardner

The elite lawyers and judges were the strongest advocates of the order of the Nehors and were also its greatest beneficiaries. Yahweh will bring destruction on the city because of the unrighteousness they engendered. Yahweh used Assyria and Egypt as his tools (Isa. 7:17–18, 2 Ne. 17:17–18) in destroying Jerusalem and will destroy Ammonihah in the same way.
