{Micah 3:1} And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; [Is it] not for you to know judgment? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 3:2} Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 3:3} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 3:4} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 3:5} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 3:6} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 3:7} Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for [there is] no answer of God. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 3:8} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 3:9} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 3:10} They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 3:11} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Micah 3:12} 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.
