Micah 3
“HearH8085 nowH4994, O leadersH7218 of JacobH3290,you rulersH7101 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.Should you notH3808 knowH3045 justiceH4941?2You hateH8130 goodH2896 and loveH157 evilH7451.You tearH1497 the skinH5785 from my peopleH5921and strip the fleshH7607 fromH5921 their bonesH6106.3You eatH398 the fleshH7607 of my peopleH5971after stripping offH6584 their skinH5785H5921and breakingH6476 their bonesH6106.You chop them upH6566 likeH834 flesh for the cooking potH5518,like meatH1320 inH8432 a cauldronH7037.”
4ThenH227 they will cry outH2199 toH413 the LORDH3068,but He will notH3808 answerH6030 themH853.At thatH1931 timeH6256 He will hideH5641 His faceH6440 from thembecause ofH834 the evilH7489 they have doneH4611.
5This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559:
“As forH5921 the prophetsH5030who lead My peopleH5971 astrayH8582,who proclaimH7121 peaceH7965while they chewH5391 with their teethH8127,but declareH6942 warH4421 against oneH5921who putsH5414 nothingH3808 inH5921 their mouthsH6310:6ThereforeH3651 nightH3915 will come over you without visionsH2377,and darknessH2821 without divinationH7080.The sunH8121 will setH935 onH5921 these prophetsH5030,and the daylightH3117 will turn blackH6937 over themH5921.7Then the seersH2374 will be ashamedH954and the divinersH7080 will be disgracedH2659.They will allH3605 coverH5844H5921 their mouthsH8222becauseH3588 there is noH369 answerH4617 from GodH430.”
8As for meH595, howeverH199, I am filledH4390 with powerH3581byH853 the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068,with justiceH4941 and courageH1369,to declareH5046 to JacobH3290 his transgressionH6588and to IsraelH3478 his sinH2403.
9NowH4994 hearH8085 thisH2063, O leadersH7218 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290and rulersH7101 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478,who despiseH8581 justiceH4941and pervertH6140 allH3605 that is rightH3477,10who buildH1129 ZionH6726 with bloodshedH1818and JerusalemH3389 with iniquityH5766.11Her leadersH7218 judgeH8199 for a bribeH7810,her priestsH3548 teachH3384 for a priceH4242,and her prophetsH5030 practice divinationH7080 for moneyH3701.Yet they leanH8172 uponH5921 the LORDH3068, sayingH559,“Is notH3808 the LORDH3068 among usH7130?NoH3808 disasterH7451 can comeH935 upon usH5921.”12ThereforeH3651, because of youH1558,ZionH6726 will be plowedH2790 like a fieldH7704,JerusalemH3389 will becomeH1961 a heap of rubbleH5856,and the templeH1004 mountH2022 a woodedH3293 ridgeH1116.
