King James
VersionMicah 2. The Book
of Micah | Chapter 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? |
2
| Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin
from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; |
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. | 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. |
5
| Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people
err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, 1Peace; and he
that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against
him.

Matt 7:15,
2 Tim 3:5
| 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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
10 |
They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. |
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. |
12
| Therefore shall Zion for your sake be 1plowed as a
field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the
house as the high places of the forest.
