Just about every day there is a new case of corporate malfeasance—bribery, tax evasion, price-fixing, defrauding of government or consumers, environmental violations, unfair labor practices and more. 

Given the frequency of these scandals, it is difficult to keep track of which corporation has done what.

Anyone even vaguely acquainted with the biblical world knows that the Scriptural authors are far from naïve when it comes to the abuse of power by unscrupulous politicos.

Consider just a few representative passages.

In the first book of Samuel, we hear that the people of Israel petitioned the prophet Samuel to anoint for them a king “as the other nations have.”  Displeased with this request, Samuel laid out for them exactly what a king would do:  “he will take your sons and assign them to his chariots and horses, and they will run before his chariot…he will set them to do his plowing and his harvesting…he will use your daughters as cooks and bakers.  He will take the best of your fields and give them to his officials…”  In short, he will abuse his power and oppress the people for his own benefit.  Despite this warning, the people persist in demanding a king and so God tells Samuel ruefully, “Grant their request and appoint a king to rule them.”  What follows, over the course of many centuries, is one of the most corrupt, incompetent, and abusive lines of monarchs in human history.  

It’s as though God were saying, “I told you about these kings.”  

Proverbs 29:2 “When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, 

but when the wicked rule, the people groan.”

Ephesians 5:11 “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.”

Genesis 6:5 “The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
