Micah 3:2-7

2But you hate what is good. And you love what is bad. You would like to tear the skin off my people, and pull the meat from their bones.

3You look at my people and you are like butchers. They strip the skin off an animal and they break its bones. Then they cut the meat into pieces and they cook it in a pot. They are happy when they eat the meat.

4One day you will shout to the Lord for help, but he will not answer you. Instead, God will turn away from you at that time, because you have done those bad things.

5The Lord says this: ‘It will be very bad for the prophets who tell false messages. They lead my people the wrong way with false promises. If people give food to them, then they are happy. So they promise that there will be no war. But, if people do not feed them, they become angry. They promise that war will come.

6Because of that, it will become like night for you. I will not show you my messages. You will no longer see what will happen in future times. The sun will go down over you prophets, and the day will become dark for you.

7Then you prophets will be ashamed. You who tell what will happen in future times will be confused. You will hide your faces in shame because you have no message from me.’
