1 Then I said: Listen, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of the nation of Israel. You should know justice. 2 You hate good and love evil. You strip the skin off my people and the flesh off their bones. 3 You eat my people's flesh. You strip off their skin. You break their bones to pieces. You chop them up like meat for a pot, like stew meat for a kettle. 4 Then you will cry to the LORD, but he will not answer you. He will hide his face from you at that time because you have done evil things. 5 This is what the LORD says about the prophets who mislead my people: When they have something to eat, they say, |All is well!| But they declare a holy war against those who don't feed them. 6 That is why you will have nights without visions. You will have darkness without revelations. The sun will set on the prophets, and the day will turn dark for them. 7 Seers will be put to shame. Those who practice witchcraft will be disgraced. All of them will cover their faces, because God won't answer them. Micah 3:1-7, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
