4Your prophets have been like jackals among ruins, O Israel.Micah 3:1-3
Rulers and Prophets Denounced
1 And I said:aHear, you heads of Jacob
and rulers of the house of Israel!
bIs it not for you to know justice?—
2you cwho hate the good and love the evil,
dwho tear the skin from off my people ▼
▼Hebrew from off them
and their flesh from off their bones,
3 fwho 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.
Zephaniah 3:3
3 gHer officials within herare roaring lions;
her judges are hevening wolves
that leave nothing till the morning.

26And the king was exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her. 27And immediately the king sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s ▼▼Greek his

Herod Is Perplexed by Jesus
7 lNow mHerod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that nJohn had been raised from the dead, 8 oby some that Elijah had appeared, and pby others that one of the prophets of old had risen. 9Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And qhe sought to see him.Luke 23:8-11
8When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, rfor he had long desired to see him, sbecause he had heard about him, and he was hoping tto see some sign done by him. 9So he questioned him at some length, but he made no answer. 10The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him. 11And Herod with his soldiers utreated him with contempt and vmocked him. Then, warraying him in splendid clothing, he sent him back to Pilate.
