Micah 3:1-12

And I said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)_,
I pray you, O heads
<07218>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and ye princes
<07101>
of the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_;
[Is it] not for you to know
<03045> (8800)
judgment
<04941>_?
Who hate
<08130> (8802)
the good
<02896>_,
and love
<0157> (8802)
the evil
<07451>_;
who pluck off
<01497> (8802)
their skin
<05785>
from off them, and their flesh
<07607>
from off their bones
<06106>_;
Who also eat
<0398> (8804)
the flesh
<07607>
of my people
<05971>_,
and flay
<06584> (8689)
their skin
<05785>
from off them; and they break
<06476> (8765)
their bones
<06106>_,
and chop them in pieces
<06566> (8804)_,
as for the pot
<05518>_,
and as flesh
<01320>
within
<08432>
the caldron
<07037>_.
Then shall they cry
<02199> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
but he will not hear
<06030> (8799)
them: he will even hide
<05641> (8686)
his face
<06440>
from them at that time
<06256>_,
as they have behaved themselves ill
<07489> (8689)
in their doings
<04611>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
concerning the prophets
<05030>
that make my people
<05971>
err
<08582> (8688)_,
that bite
<05391> (8802)
with their teeth
<08127>_,
and cry
<07121> (8804)_,
Peace
<07965>_;
and he that putteth
<05414> (8799)
not into their mouths
<06310>_,
they even prepare
<06942> (8765)
war
<04421>
against him.
Therefore night
<03915>
[shall be] unto you, that ye shall not have a vision
<02377>_;
and it shall be dark
<02821> (8675) <02821> (8804)
unto you, that ye shall not divine
<07080> (8800)_;
and the sun
<08121>
shall go down
<0935> (8804)
over the prophets
<05030>_,
and the day
<03117>
shall be dark
<06937> (8804)
over them. {that...: vision: Heb. from a vision} {that...: divine: Heb. from divining}
Then shall the seers
<02374>
be ashamed
<0954> (8804)_,
and the diviners
<07080> (8802)
confounded
<02659> (8804)_:
yea, they shall all cover
<05844> (8804)
their lips
<08222>_;
for [there is] no answer
<04617>
of God
<0430>_.
{lips: Heb. upper lip}
But truly
<0199>
I am full
<04390> (8804)
of power
<03581>
by the spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and of judgment
<04941>_,
and of might
<01369>_,
to declare
<05046> (8687)
unto Jacob
<03290>
his transgression
<06588>_,
and to Israel
<03478>
his sin
<02403>_.
Hear
<08085> (8798)
this, I pray you, ye heads
<07218>
of the house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and princes
<07101>
of the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
that abhor
<08581> (8764)
judgment
<04941>_,
and pervert
<06140> (8762)
all equity
<03477>_.
They build up
<01129> (8802)
Zion
<06726>
with blood
<01818>_,
and Jerusalem
<03389>
with iniquity
<05766>_.
{blood: Heb. bloods}
The heads
<07218>
thereof judge
<08199> (8799)
for reward
<07810>_,
and the priests
<03548>
thereof teach
<03384> (8686)
for hire
<04242>_,
and the prophets
<05030>
thereof divine
<07080> (8799)
for money
<03701>_:
yet will they lean
<08172> (8735)
upon the LORD
<03068>_,
and say
<0559> (8800)_,
[Is] not the LORD
<03068>
among
<07130>
us? none evil
<07451>
can come
<0935> (8799)
upon us. {and say: Heb. saying}
Therefore shall Zion
<06726>
for your sake
<01558>
be plowed
<02790> (8735)
[as] a field
<07704>_,
and Jerusalem
<03389>
shall become heaps
<05856>_,
and the mountain
<02022>
of the house
<01004>
as the high places
<01116>
of the forest
<03293>_.
