Micah 3:1 And I said,559 Hear,8085 I pray you, O heads7218 of Jacob,3290 and ye princes7101 of the house1004 of Israel;3478 Is it not for you to know3045 judgment?4941 cr 2 Who hate8130 the good,2896 and love157 the evil;7451 who pluck off1497 their skin5785 from off them, and their flesh7607 from off their bones;6106 cr 3 Who also eat398 the flesh7607 of my people,5971 and flay6584 their skin5785 from off them; and they break6476 their bones,6106 and chop them in pieces,6566 as for the pot,5518 and as flesh1320 within8432 the caldron.7037 cr 4 Then shall they cry2199 unto the LORD,3068 but he will not hear6030 them: he will even hide5641 his face6440 from them at that time,6256 as they have behaved themselves ill7489 in their doings.4611 cr

Micah 3:5 Thus saith559 the LORD3068 concerning the prophets5030 that make my people5971 err,8582 that bite5391 with their teeth,8127 and cry,7121 Peace;7965 and he that putteth5414 not into their mouths,6310 they even prepare6942 war4421 against him. cr 6 Therefore night3915 shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision;2377{Heb. from a vision} and it shall be dark2821 2821 unto you, that ye shall not divine;7080{Heb. from divining} and the sun8121 shall go down935 over the prophets,5030 and the day3117 shall be dark6937 over them. cr 7 Then shall the seers2374 be ashamed,954 and the diviners7080 confounded:2659 yea, they shall all cover5844 their lips;8222{Heb. upper lip} for there is no answer4617 of God.430 cr

Micah 3:8 But truly199 I am full4390 of power3581 by the spirit7307 of the LORD,3068 and of judgment,4941 and of might,1369 to declare5046 unto Jacob3290 his transgression,6588 and to Israel3478 his sin.2403 cr 9 Hear8085 this, I pray you, ye heads7218 of the house1004 of Jacob,3290 and princes7101 of the house1004 of Israel,3478 that abhor8581 judgment,4941 and pervert6140 all equity.3477 cr 10 They build up1129 Zion6726 with blood,1818{Heb. bloods} and Jerusalem3389 with iniquity.5766 cr 11 The heads7218 thereof judge8199 for reward,7810 and the priests3548 thereof teach3384 for hire,4242 and the prophets5030 thereof divine7080 for money:3701 yet will they lean8172 upon the LORD,3068 and say,559{Heb. saying} Is not the LORD3068 among7130 us? none evil7451 can come935 upon us. cr 12 Therefore shall Zion6726 for your sake1558 be plowed2790 as a field,7704 and Jerusalem3389 shall become heaps,5856 and the mountain2022 of the house1004 as the high places1116 of the forest.3293 cr
