Micah 3:1-4

Rulers and Prophets Denounced

1 And I said:
^xHear, you heads of Jacob
and rulers of the house of Israel!
^yIs it not for you to know justice?—
2 you ^zwho hate the good and love the evil,
^aawho tear the skin from off my people ^{▼▼Hebrew from off them}
and their flesh from off their bones,
3 ^acwho eat the flesh of my people,
and flay their skin from off them,
and break their bones in pieces
and chop them up like meat in a pot,
like flesh in a cauldron.
4 ^adThen they will cry to the Lord,
but he will not answer them;
^aehe will hide his face from them at that time,
because they have made their deeds evil.

Micah 3:9-11

9 ^afHear this, you heads of the house of Jacob
and rulers of the house of Israel,
^agwho detest justice
and make crooked all that is straight,
10 ^ahwho build Zion with blood
and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 ^aiIts heads give judgment for a bribe;
^ajits priests teach for a price;
^akits prophets practice divination for money;
^alyet they lean on the Lord and ^amsay,
“Is not the Lord in the midst of us?
^anNo disaster shall come upon us.”
