Micah 3:9-12
New American Standard Bible
9 Now hear this, you (A)heads of the house of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel,
Who (B)despise justice
And twist everything that is straight,
10 Who (C)build Zion with bloodshed,
And Jerusalem with malice.
11 Her leaders pronounce (D)judgment for a bribe,
Her (E)priests teach for pay,
And her prophets divine for money.
Yet they lean on the Lord, saying,
“(F)Is the Lord not in our midst?
Catastrophe will not come upon us.”
12 Therefore on account of you,
(G)Zion will be plowed like a field,
(H)Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins,
And the (I)mountain of the [a]temple will become high places of a forest.

9 Now hear this, (A)heads of the house of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel,
Who (B)abhor justice
And twist everything that is straight,
10 Who (C)build Zion with bloodshed
And Jerusalem with violent injustice.
11 Her leaders pronounce (D)judgment for a bribe,
Her (E)priests instruct for a price
And her prophets divine for money.
Yet they lean on the Lord saying,
“(F)Is not the Lord in our midst?
Calamity will not come upon us.”
12 Therefore, on account of you
(G)Zion will be plowed as a field,
(H)Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins,
And the (I)mountain of the [a]temple will become high places of a forest.

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