MICAH
Chapter 3
Mica | RNKJV | 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? | |
Mica | RNKJV | 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; | |
Mica | RNKJV | 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. | |
Mica | RNKJV | 3:4 | Then shall they cry unto יהוה, 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. | |
Mica | RNKJV | 3:5 | Thus saith יהוה 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. | |
Mica | RNKJV | 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. | |
Mica | RNKJV | 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 Elohim. | |
Mica | RNKJV | 3:8 | But truly I am full of power by the spirit of יהוה, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin. | |
Mica | RNKJV | 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. | |
Mica | RNKJV | 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 יהוה, and say, Is not יהוה among us? none evil can come upon us. | |
