Micah 3

1 ♥ 📝 A nd I said,^H559 Hear,^H8085 I pray you, ye heads^H7218 of Jacob,^H3290 and rulers^H7101 of the house^H1004 of Israel:^H3478 is it not for you to know^H3045 justice?^H4941

2 ♥ 📝 ye who hate^H8130 the good,^H2896 and love^H157 the evil;^H7451 who pluck off^H1497 their skin^H5785 from off them, and their flesh^H7607 from off their bones;^H6106

3 ♥ 📝 who also eat^H398 the flesh^H7607 of my people,^H5971 and flay^H6584 their skin^H5785 from off them, and break^H6476 their bones,^H6106 and chop them in pieces,^H6566 as for the pot,^H5518 and as flesh^H1320 within^H8432 the caldron.^H7037

4 ♥ 📝 Then shall they cry^H2199 unto Jehovah,^H3068 but he will not answer^H6030 them; yea, he will hide^H5641 his face^H6440 from them at that time,^H6256 according as they have wrought evil^H7489 in their doings.^H4611

5 ♥ 📝 Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 concerning the prophets^H5030 that make my people^H5971 to err;^H8582 that bite^H5391 with their teeth,^H8127 and cry,^H7121 Peace;^H7965 and whoso putteth^H5414 not into their mouths,^H6310 they even prepare^H6942 war^H4421 against him:

6 ♥ 📝 Therefore it shall be night^H3915 unto you, that ye shall have no vision;^H2377 and it shall be dark^H2821 unto you, that ye shall not divine;^H7080 and the sun^H8121 shall go down^H935 upon the prophets,^H5030 and the day^H3117 shall be black^H6937 over them.

7 ♥ 📝 And the seers^H2374 shall be put to shame,^H2659 and the diviners^H7080 confounded;^H954 yea, they shall all cover^H5844 their lips;^H8222 for there is no answer^H4617 of God.^H430

8 ♥ 📝 But as^H199 for me, I am full^H4390 of power^H3581 by the Spirit^H7307 of Jehovah,^H3068 and of judgment,^H4941 and of might,^H1369 to declare^H5046 unto Jacob^H3290 his transgression,^H6588 and to Israel^H3478 his sin.^H2403

9 ♥ 📝 Hear^H8085 this, I pray you, ye heads^H7218 of the house^H1004 of Jacob,^H3290 and rulers^H7101 of the house^H1004 of Israel,^H3478 that abhor^H8581 justice,^H4941 and pervert^H6140 all equity.^H3477

10 ♥ 📝 They build up^H1129 Zion^H6726 with blood,^H1818 and Jerusalem^H3389 with iniquity.^H5766

11 ♥ 📝 The heads^H7218 thereof judge^H8199 for reward,^H7810 and the priests^H3548 thereof teach^H3384 for hire,^H4242 and the prophets^H5030 thereof divine^H7080 for money:^H3701 yet they lean^H8172 upon Jehovah,^H3068 and say,^H559 Is not Jehovah^H3068 in the midst^H7130 of us? no evil^H7451 shall come^H935 upon us.

12 ♥ 📝 Therefore shall Zion^H6726 for your sake^H1558 be plowed^H2790 as a field,^H7704 and Jerusalem^H3389 shall become heaps,^H5856 and the mountain^H2022 of the house^H1004 as the high places^H1116 of a forest.^H3293
