Micah 3:8-12
New King James Version
8 But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord,
And of justice and might,
(A)To declare to Jacob his transgression
And to Israel his sin.
9 Now hear this,
You heads of the house of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel,
Who abhor justice
And [a]pervert all equity,
10 (B)Who build up Zion with (C)bloodshed
And Jerusalem with iniquity:
11 (D)Her heads judge for a bribe,
(E)Her priests teach for pay,
And her prophets divine for [b]money.
(F)Yet they lean on the Lord, and say,
“Is not the Lord among us?
No harm can come upon us.”
12 Therefore because of you
Zion shall be (G)plowed like a field,
(H)Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins,
And (I)the mountain of the [c]temple
Like the bare hills of the forest.

20 “Again, when a (F)righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand. 21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.”
