Micah 3:8-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 But as for me, I am filled with power,
with the spirit of the Lord,
and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob his transgression
and to Israel his sin.(A)
9 Hear this, you rulers of the house of Jacob
and chiefs of the house of Israel,
who abhor justice
and pervert all equity,(B)
10 who build Zion with blood
and Jerusalem with wrong!(C)
11 Its rulers give judgment for a bribe;
its priests teach for a price;
its prophets give oracles for money;
yet they lean upon the Lord and say,
“Surely the Lord is with us!
No harm shall come upon us.”(D)
12 Therefore because of you
Zion shall be plowed as a field;
Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins,
and the mountain of the temple a wooded height.(E)

who despise justice
and distort all that is right;(B)
10 who build(C) Zion with bloodshed,(D)
and Jerusalem with wickedness.(E)
11 Her leaders judge for a bribe,(F)
her priests teach for a price,(G)
and her prophets tell fortunes for money.(H)
Yet they look(I) for the Lord’s support and say,
“Is not the Lord among us?
No disaster will come upon us.”(J)
12 Therefore because of you,
Zion will be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble,(K)
the temple(L) hill a mound overgrown with thickets.(M)
