Micah 3:1-4

Living Bible

3 Listen, you leaders of Israel—you are supposed to know right from wrong, ² yet you are the very ones who hate good and love evil; you skin my people and strip them to the bone.

³ You devour them, flog them, break their bones, and chop them up like meat for the cooking pot— ⁴ and then you plead with the Lord for his help in times of trouble! Do you really expect him to listen? He will look the other way!
