MICAH 3:5-12
THUS SAITH
THE LORD CONCERNING
THE PROPHETS
THAT MAKE
MY PEOPLE ERR,
THAT BITe WITH THEIR TEETH,
AND CRY, PEACE;
AND BE
THAT PUTTETH NOT
INTO THEIR MOUTHS,
THEY EVEN PREPARE WAR AGAINST HIM.
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.
THEN SHALL
THE SEERS BE ASHAMED,
AND
THE DIVINERS CONFOUNDED:
YEA, THEY SHALL ALL
COVER THEIR LIPS;
FOR
THERE IS NO ANSWER OF GOD.
BUT
TRULY
I AM FULL OF POWER
BY THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD,
AND
OF JUDGMENT,
AND OF MIGHT,
TO DECLARE UNTO
JACOB HIS TRANSGRESSION,
AND
TO ISRAEL HIS SIN.
HEAR THIS, I PRAY YOU,
YE HEADS OF THE HOUSE
OF JACOB,
AND
PRINCES OF
THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL,
THAT ABHOR JUDGEMENT,
AND
PERVERT ALL EQUITY.
THEY
BUILD UP ZION WITH BLOOD,
AND
JERUSALEM WITH INIQUITY.
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 THE LORD,
AND SAY,
IS NOT
THE LORD AMONG US?
NONE EVIL
CAN COME UPON US.
THEREFORE SHALL
ZION FOR YOUR SAKE
BE PLOWED AS A FIELD,
AND
JERUSALEM SHALL
BECOME HEAPS,
AND
THE MOUNTAIN
OF
THE HOUSE OF
THE HIGH PLACES OF THE FOREST.
LOVE
