Micah 3

3:1And he shall say, Hear indeed, O heads of Jacob, and O remnant of the house of Israel! Is it not for you to know equity?

3:2O ones detesting the good things, and seeking the wicked things; seizing by force their skins from them, and their flesh from their bones;

3:3in which manner they devoured the flesh of my people, and their skins they flayed from them, and their bones they fractured in pieces as flesh for the kettle, and as meats for the pot.

3:4Thus they shall cry out to the lord, and he will not listen to them. And he shall turn his face from them in that time, because they were wicked in their practices.

3:5Thus says the lord concerning the prophets, of the ones misleading my people; the ones biting with their teeth, and proclaiming peace upon them, and when nothing was put into their mouth, they even sanctified a war against them.

3:6On account of this there shall be night to you instead of a vision; and darkness will be to you for divination; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall darken upon them.

3:7And the ones seeing the dreams shall be disgraced; and the clairvoyants shall be ridiculed; and all these shall speak ill against them; because there is not one heeding them.

3:8Surely I shall fill up strength in spirit of the lord, and judgment, and might, to report to Jacob of his impiety, and to Israel of his sins.

3:9Hear indeed these things, O leaders of the house of Jacob, and, O remnants of the house of Israel! the ones abhorring equity, and all the ones perverting straight things;

3:10the ones building Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with injustice.

3:11Her leaders judge with bribes, and her priests answer with a wage, and her prophets are divining with silver; but upon the lord they rest upon, saying, is not the lord among us? In no way shall bad things come upon us.

3:12On account of this, because of you, Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem will be as a vacant storehouse of fruits, and the mountain of the house as a place of the forest.
