Micah 3:1-4
International Children’s Bible
The Leaders of Israel Are Guilty of Evil
3 Then I said,
“Listen, leaders of the people of Jacob.
Listen, you rulers of the nation of Israel.
You should know how to decide cases fairly.
2 But you hate good and love evil.
You skin my people alive.
You tear the flesh off their bones.
3 You are destroying my people.
You skin them and break their bones.
You chop them up in pieces
like meat to put in the pot.
4 Then you will pray to the Lord.
But he won’t answer you.
He will hide his face from you,
because you have done evil.”
Micah 3:1-4
New International Version
Leaders and Prophets Rebuked
3 Then I said,
“Listen, you leaders(A) of Jacob,
you rulers of Israel.
Should you not embrace justice,
2 you who hate good and love evil;
who tear the skin from my people
and the flesh from their bones;(B)
3 who eat my people’s flesh,(C)
strip off their skin
and break their bones in pieces;(D)
who chop(E) them up like meat for the pan,
like flesh for the pot?(F)”
