Micah 3:1-5

Rulers and Prophets Denounced

1 And I said:
^eHear, you heads of Jacob
and rulers of the house of Israel!
^fIs it not for you to know justice?—
2 you ^gwho hate the good and love the evil,
^hwho tear the skin from off my people ^{▼▼Hebrew from off them}
and their flesh from off their bones,
3 ^jwho 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 ^kThen they will cry to the Lord,
but he will not answer them;
^lhe will hide his face from them at that time,
because they have made their deeds evil.
5 Thus says the Lord concerning ^mthe prophets
who lead my people astray,
ⁿwho cry “Peace”
when they have something to eat,
but declare war against him
who puts nothing into their mouths.

Micah 3:9-12

9 ^oHear this, you heads of the house of Jacob
and rulers of the house of Israel,
^pwho detest justice
and make crooked all that is straight,
10 ^qwho build Zion with blood
and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 ^rIts heads give judgment for a bribe;
^sits priests teach for a price;
^tits prophets practice divination for money;
^uyet they lean on the Lord and ^vsay,
“Is not the Lord in the midst of us?
^wNo disaster shall come upon us.”
12 Therefore because of you
^xZion shall be plowed as a field;
Jerusalem ^yshall become a heap of ruins,
and ^zthe mountain of the house ^aaa wooded height.

Zephaniah 3:1-4

Judgment on Jerusalem and the Nations

1 Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,
^abthe oppressing city!
2 She listens to no voice;
^acshe accepts no correction.
^adShe does not trust in the Lord;
she does not draw near to her God.
3 ^aeHer officials within her
are roaring lions;
her judges are ^afevening wolves
that leave nothing till the morning.
4 ^agHer prophets are fickle, treacherous men;
^ahher priests ^aiprofane what is holy;
they do violence to the law.
