Micah 3:3-12

3:3

Who also eat
<0398> (8804)

the flesh
<07607>

of my people
<05971>_,

and flay
<06584> (8689)

their skin
<05785>

from off them; and they break
<06476> (8765)

their bones
<06106>_,

and chop them in pieces
<06566> (8804)_,

as for the pot
<05518>_,

and as flesh
<01320>

within
<08432>

the caldron
<07037>_.

3:4

Then shall they cry
<02199> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

but he will not hear
<06030> (8799)

them: he will even hide
<05641> (8686)

his face
<06440>

from them at that time
<06256>_,

as they have behaved themselves ill
<07489> (8689)

in their doings
<04611>_.

3:5

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

concerning the prophets
<05030>

that make my people
<05971>

err
<08582> (8688)_,

that bite
<05391> (8802)

with their teeth
<08127>_,

and cry
<07121> (8804)_,

Peace
<07965>_;

and he that putteth
<05414> (8799)

not into their mouths
<06310>_,

they even prepare
<06942> (8765)

war
<04421>

against him.

3:6

Therefore night
<03915>

[shall be] unto you, that ye shall not have a vision
<02377>_;

and it shall be dark
<02821> (8675) <02821> (8804)

unto you, that ye shall not divine
<07080> (8800)_;

and the sun
<08121>

shall go down
<0935> (8804)

over the prophets
<05030>_,

and the day
<03117>

shall be dark
<06937> (8804)

over them. {that...: vision: Heb. from a vision} {that...: divine: Heb. from divining}

3:7

Then shall the seers
<02374>

be ashamed
<0954> (8804)_,

and the diviners
<07080> (8802)

confounded
<02659> (8804)_:

yea, they shall all cover
<05844> (8804)

their lips
<08222>_;

for [there is] no answer
<04617>

of God
<0430>_.

{lips: Heb. upper lip}

3:8

But truly
<0199>

I am full
<04390> (8804)

of power
<03581>

by the spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and of judgment
<04941>_,

and of might
<01369>_,

to declare
<05046> (8687)

unto Jacob
<03290>

his transgression
<06588>_,

and to Israel
<03478>

his sin
<02403>_.

3:9

Hear
<08085> (8798)

this, I pray you, ye heads
<07218>

of the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

and princes
<07101>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

that abhor
<08581> (8764)

judgment
<04941>_,

and pervert
<06140> (8762)

all equity
<03477>_.

3:10

They build up
<01129> (8802)

Zion
<06726>

with blood
<01818>_,

and Jerusalem
<03389>

with iniquity
<05766>_.

{blood: Heb. bloods}

3:11

The heads
<07218>

thereof judge
<08199> (8799)

for reward
<07810>_,

and the priests
<03548>

thereof teach
<03384> (8686)

for hire
<04242>_,

and the prophets
<05030>

thereof divine
<07080> (8799)

for money
<03701>_:

yet will they lean
<08172> (8735)

upon the LORD
<03068>_,

and say
<0559> (8800)_,

[Is] not the LORD
<03068>

among
<07130>

us? none evil
<07451>

can come
<0935> (8799)

upon us. {and say: Heb. saying}

3:12

Therefore shall Zion
<06726>

for your sake
<01558>

be plowed
<02790> (8735)

[as] a field
<07704>_,

and Jerusalem
<03389>

shall become heaps
<05856>_,

and the mountain
<02022>

of the house
<01004>

as the high places
<01116>

of the forest
<03293>_.
