Micah 3:2-7

2Who hateH8130 the goodH2896, and loveH157 the evilH7451; who pluck offH1497 their skinH5785 from off them, and their fleshH7607 from off their bonesH6106; 3Who also eatH398 the fleshH7607 of my peopleH5971, and flayH6584 their skinH5785 from off them; and they breakH6476 their bonesH6106, and chop them in piecesH6566, as for the potH5518, and as fleshH1320 withinH8432 the caldronH7037. 4Then shall they cryH2199 unto YhwhH3068, but he will not hearH6030 them: he will even hideH5641 his faceH6440 from them at that timeH6256, as they have behaved themselves illH7489 in their doingsH4611.

5Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 concerning the prophetsH5030 that make my peopleH5971 errH8582, that biteH5391 with their teethH8127, and cryH7121, PeaceH7965; and he that puttethH5414 not into their mouthsH6310, they even prepareH6942 warH4421 against him. 6Therefore nightH3915 shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a visionH2377; and it shall be darkH2821 unto you, that ye shall not divineH7080; and the sunH8121 shall go downH935 over the prophetsH5030, and the dayH3117 shall be darkH6937 over them.12 7Then shall the seersH2374 be ashamedH954, and the divinersH7080 confoundedH2659: yea, they shall all coverH5844 their lipsH8222; for there is no answerH4617 of GodH430.3
