ye 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 break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for
the pot, and as flesh within the caldron. |

shall they cry unto Jehovah, but he will not answer them; yea, he will hide his

make my people to err; that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and whoso putteth
not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him: |

|
|
|
Micah 3:6

Therefore it shall be night unto you, that ye
shall have no vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine;

diviners confounded; yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer
of God. |

of Jehovah, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression,
and to Israel his sin. |

with iniquity. |

The heads thereof judge for reward, and the

they lean upon Jehovah, and say, Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? no evil shall
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 a forest. |
