Book 33 : MICAH - Chapter 003
003:001
Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin
from off them, and their flesh from off their bones
003:002
Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from
off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces,
as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron
003:003
Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them:
he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they
have behaved themselves ill in their doings
003:004
Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my
people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he
that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war
against him
003:005
Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a
vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not
divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the
day shall be dark over them
003:006
Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded:
yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer
of God
003:007
But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of
judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his
transgression, and to Israel his sin
003:008
Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and
princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and
pervert all equity
003:009
They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity
003:010
The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof
teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet
will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among
us? none evil can come upon us
003:011
Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and
Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as
the high places of the forest
