Micah 3 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and you princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?

CKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H559 And I said, H8085 Hear, H7218 I pray you, O heads H3290 of Jacob, H7101 and you princes H1004 of the house H3478 of Israel; H3045 Is it not for you to know H4941 judgment?

2 H8130 Who hate H2896 the good, H157 and love H7451 the evil; H1497 who pluck off H5785 their skin H7607 from off them, and their flesh H6106 from off their bones;

3 H398 Who also eat H7607 the flesh H5971 of my people, H6584 and flay H5785 their skin H6476 from off them; and they break H6106 their bones, H6566 and chop them in pieces, H5518 as for the pot, H1320 and as flesh H8432 inside H7037 the caldron.

4 H2199 Then shall they cry H3068 unto the Lord, H6030 but he will not hear H5641 them: he will even hide H6440 his face H6256 from them at that time, H7489 as they have behaved themselves ill H4611 in their doings.

5 H559 Thus says H3068 the Lord H5030 concerning the prophets H5971 that make my people H8582 err, H5391 that bite H8127 with their teeth, H7121 and cry, H7965 Peace; H5414 and he that puts H6310 not into their mouths, H6942 they even prepare H4421 war against him.

6 H3915 Therefore night H2377 shall be unto you, that you shall not have a vision; H2821 and it shall be dark H7080 unto you, that you shall not divine; H8121 and the sun H935 shall go down H5030 over the prophets, H3117 and the day H6937 shall be dark over them.

7 H2374 Then shall the seers H954 be ashamed, H7080 and the diviners H2659 confounded: H5844 Yes, they shall all cover H8222 their lips; H4617 for there is no answer H430 of God.

8 H199 But truly H4390 I am full H3581 of power H7307 by the spirit H3068 of the Lord, H4941 and of judgment, H1369 and of might, H5046 to declare H3290 unto Jacob H6588 his transgression, H3478 and to Israel H2403 his sin.

9 H8085 Hear H7218 this, I pray you, you heads H1004 of the house H3290 of Jacob, H7101 and princes H1004 of the house H3478 of Israel, H8581 that abhor H4941 judgment, H6140 and pervert H3477 all equity.

10 H1129 They build up H6726 Zion H1818 with blood, H3389 and Jerusalem H5766 with iniquity.

11 H7218 The heads H8199 there judge H7810 for reward, H3548 and the priests H3384 there teach H4242 for hire, H5030 and the prophets H7080 there divine H3701 for money: H8172 yet will they lean H3068 upon the Lord, H559 and say, H3068 Is not the Lord H7130 among H7451 us? no evil H935 can come upon us.

12 H6726 Therefore shall Zion H1558 for your sake H2790 be plowed H7704 as a field, H3389 and Jerusalem H5856 shall become heaps, H2022 and the mountain H1004 of the house H1116 as the high places H3293 of the forest.
