Micah 3 
1
And I said, Give ear, now, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the people of
Israel: is it not for you to have knowledge of what is right?
2
You who are haters of good and lovers of evil, pulling off their skin
from them and their flesh from their bones
3
Like meat they take the flesh of my people for their food, skinning them
and crushing their bones, yes, cutting them up as if for the pot, like flesh inside the
cooking-pot.
4
Then they will be crying to the Lord for help, but he will not give them
an answer: yes, he will keep his face veiled from them at that time, because their acts have
been evil.
5
This is what the Lord has said about the prophets by whom my people have
been turned from the right way who, biting with their teeth, say, Peace and if anyone puts
nothing in their mouths they make ready for war against him.
6
For this cause it will be night for you, without a vision and it will be
dark for you, without knowledge of the future the sun will go down over the prophets, and
the day will be black over them.
7
And the seers will be shamed, and the readers of the future will be at a
loss, all of them covering their lips for there is no answer from God.
8
But I truly am full of the spirit of the Lord, with power of judging and
with strength to make clear to Jacob his wrongdoing and to Israel his sin.
9
Then give ear to this, you heads of the children of Jacob, you rulers of
the children of Israel, hating what is right, twisting what is straight.
10
They are building up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with evil-doing.
11
Its heads take rewards for judging, and the priests take payment for
teaching, and the prophets get silver for reading the future: but still, supporting
themselves on the Lord, they say, Is not the Lord among us? no evil will overtake us.
12
For this reason, Zion will be ploughed like a field because of you, and
Jerusalem will become a mass of broken walls, and the mountain of the house like a high
place in the woods.
