Micah 3

Revised Version 1895

1And I saidH559, HearH8085, I prayH4994 youH3045, ye headsH7218 of JacobH3290, and rulersH7101 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: is it notH3808 for youH3045 to knowH3045 judgmentH4941? 2who hateH8130 the goodH2896, and loveH157 the evilH7451; who pluck offH5921 their skinH5785 from offH5921 them, and their fleshH7607 from offH5921 their bonesH6106; 3who also eatH398 the fleshH1320 of my peopleH5971; and they flay their skinH5785 from offH6584 them, and breakH6476 their bonesH6106: yea, they chopH6566 them in pieces, as for the potH5518, and as fleshH1320 withinH8432 the caldronH7037. 4Then shall they cryH2199 unto the LORDH3068, but he will notH3808 answerH6030 them: yea, he will hideH5641 his faceH6440 from them at that time, accordingH413 as they have wrought evilH7489 in their doingsH4611. 5ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 concerning the prophetsH5030 that makeH5414 my peopleH5971 to errH8582; that bite with their teethH8127 and cryH7121, PeaceH7965; and whoso putteth notH3808 intoH5921 their mouthsH6310, they evenH3808 prepareH6942 warH4421 againstH5921 him: 6Therefore it shall be nightH3915 unto youH5921, that ye shall have no visionH2377; and it shall be darkH2821 unto youH5921, that ye shall not divineH7080; and the sunH8121 shall goH935 downH5921 uponH5921 the prophetsH5030, and the dayH3117 shall be blackH6937 over them. 7And the seersH2374 shall be ashamedH954, and the divinersH7080 confoundedH2659; yeaH3588, they shall allH3605 coverH5844 their lips: for there is noH369 answerH4617 of GodH430. 8But I trulyH199 am fullH4390 of powerH1369 by the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068, and of judgmentH4941, and of might, to declareH5046 unto JacobH3290 his transgressionH6588, and to IsraelH3478 his sinH2403. 9HearH8085 this, I prayH4994 youH3605, ye headsH7218 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and rulersH7101 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that abhorH8581 judgmentH4941, and pervert allH3605 equity. 10They buildH1129 upH1129 ZionH6726 with bloodH1818, and JerusalemH3389 with iniquityH5766. 11The headsH7218 thereof judgeH8199 for rewardH7810, and the priestsH3548 thereof teachH3384 for hire, and the prophetsH5030 thereof divineH7080 for moneyH3701: yet will they leanH8172 uponH5921 the LORDH3068, and sayH559, Is notH3808 the LORDH3068 in the midstH7130 of usH5921? noH3808 evilH7451 shall comeH935 uponH5921 usH5921. 12Therefore shall ZionH6726 for your sake be plowedH2790 as a fieldH7704, and JerusalemH3389 shall becomeH1961 heaps, and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the highH1116 placesH1116 of a forestH3293.
