By contrast in the OT you have Ezekiel and Jeremiah (and others like Amos), and in the NT you have Paul's admonitions, some rather pointed I think, you have James and Jude and Peter's epistolary comments, and Rvelations 2 and 3.
Lastly, we ought to mention that Lee saw a lot of iniquity in Christianity, i.e. in everyone else. He just couldn't stand it when the same jaundiced eye swung round and faced his oeuvre.

If one wants to hold to the claim God sees no iniquity in Israel, don't read Malachi. Then on the other hand, it's so negative one might say "Malachi was on the wrong tree."
