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?—
2 you ^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.

Micah 3:9-11

9 ^gHear this, you heads of the house of Jacob
and rulers of the house of Israel,
^hwho detest justice
and make crooked all that is straight,
10 ⁱwho build Zion with blood
and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 ^jIts heads give judgment for a bribe;
^kits priests teach for a price;
^lits prophets practice divination for money;
^myet they lean on the Lord and ⁿsay,
“Is not the Lord in the midst of us?
^oNo disaster shall come upon us.”

Zechariah 3:3

3 Now ^pJoshua was standing before the angel, ^qclothed with filthy garments.
