Mic Micah, chapter Book of Micah, chapter 3
Then I said, “Please listen, leaders of the descendants of Jacob, people of Israel. You are meant to know the difference between right and wrong, Deu 17:18you who hate good and love evil! You tear off their skin, and rip the flesh from their bones. Ezk 22:25You eat the flesh of my people, you strip off their skin, you break their bones. You chop them up like meat for the saucepan, like flesh for the cooking pot.”
Then they'll cry out to the Lord, but he won't answer them. He will turn away3:4. Literally, “hide his face.” from them at that time because of the evil things they have done.Psa 66:18; Isa 1:15; Jer 11:11
This is what the Lord says about the prophets who deceive my people. To those who feed3:5. Literally, “biting with their teeth.” them they prophesy peace to them, while to those who do not they prophesy war against them. Mat 7:15; Jer 6:14; Ezk 13:10Therefore it will be like night for you, with no visions; dark, with no predictions. The sun will set on these prophets; their day will end in darkness. Amo 8:9The seers will be disgraced, the fortune-tellers put to shame, and they will cover their faces because none of them receive any answer from God.1Sa 9:9
But as for me, I am filled with power, with the spirit of the Lord. I am filled with justice and strength to make clear to the descendants of Jacob their rebellion, and to the people of Israel their sin.Ezk 3:8
Listen to me, leaders of the descendants of Jacob and the people of Israel, you who hate justice and distort all that is right. Isa 5:20You are building Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with evil. Jer 22:13Your leaders judge for a bribe, and your priests teach for a price, and your prophets only prophesy for pay. Yet they all lean on the Lord saying, “Isn't the Lord here with us? Nothing bad can happen to us!” Jer 22:26Therefore because of you Zion will become a plowed field and Jerusalem a heap of rubble, and the Temple mount will be overgrown.Jer 26:18
