Micah 3:9-12

Christian Standard Bible

⁹ Listen to this, leaders of the house of Jacob,^(A)
you rulers of the house of Israel,
who abhor justice^(B)
and pervert everything that is right,
¹⁰ who build Zion with bloodshed^(C)
and Jerusalem with injustice.
¹¹ Her leaders issue rulings for a bribe,^(D)
her priests teach for payment,^(E)
and her prophets practice divination for silver.
Yet they lean on the Lord, saying,
“Isn’t the Lord^(F) among us?
No disaster will overtake us.”
¹² Therefore, because of you,
Zion will be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem will become ruins,^(G)
and the temple’s mountain^(H)
will be a high thicket.^(I)
