Micah 3:2-7
2You who hateH8130 goodH2896 and loveH157 evilH7451, Who 1tearH1497 offH1497 their skinH5785 from them And their fleshH7607 from their bonesH6106,3WhoH834 2eatH398 the fleshH7607 of my peopleH5971, StripH6584 offH6584 their skinH5785 from them, SmashH6476 their bonesH6106, And 3chopH6566 them upH6566 as for the potH5518, And as meatH1320 in a cauldronH7037!”4ThenH227 they will 4cryH2199 outH2199 to the LordH3068, But He will not answerH6030 them. Instead, He will 5hideH5641 His faceH6440 from them at that timeH6256 BecauseH834 they have 6practicedH7489 evilH7489 deedsH4611.
5ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559 concerningH5921 the prophetsH5030 who 7leadH8582 my peopleH5971 astrayH8582: When they have something to biteH5391 with their teethH8127, They 8cryH7121 outH7121, “PeaceH7965!” But againstH5921 him whoH834 putsH5414 nothingH3808 in their mouthsH6310 They declareH6942 holyH6942 warH4421.6ThereforeH3651 it will be 9nightH3915 for you--withoutH4480 visionH2377, And darknessH2825 for you--withoutH4480 divinationH7080. The 10sunH8121 will goH935 down on the prophetsH5030, And the dayH3117 will becomeH6937 darkH6937 overH5921 them.7The seersH2374 will be 11putH954 toH954 shameH954, And the 12divinersH7080 will be ashamedH2659. Indeed, they will allH3605 13coverH5844 their 14lipsH8222 BecauseH3588 thereH369 isH369 15noH369 answerH4617 from GodH430.
