Miqueas 3
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
El castigo a los gobernantes corruptos
3 Entonces dije:
«Escuchad, gobernantes de Jacob,
autoridades del pueblo de Israel:
¿Acaso no os corresponde a vosotros
conocer el derecho?
2 Vosotros odiáis el bien y amáis el mal;
a mi pueblo le arrancáis la piel del cuerpo
y la carne de los huesos;
3 vosotros devoráis a mi pueblo,
le arrancáis la piel, le rompéis los huesos;
lo descuartizáis como carne para la olla,
como carne para el horno».
4 Entonces le pedirán auxilio al Señor,
pero él no les responderá;
esconderá de ellos su rostro
porque hicieron lo malo.
Contraste entre el profeta falso y el verdadero
5 Esto es lo que dice el Señor contra vosotros,
profetas que descarriáis a mi pueblo:
«Con el estómago lleno, invitan a la paz;
con el vientre vacío, declaran la guerra.
6 Por tanto, tendréis noches sin visiones,
oscuridad sin presagios».
El sol se ocultará de estos profetas;
¡el día se les volverá tinieblas!
7 Los videntes quedarán en vergüenza;
los adivinos serán humillados.
Dios les tapará la boca,
pues no les dará respuesta.
8 Yo, en cambio, estoy lleno de poder,
lleno del Espíritu del Señor,
y lleno de justicia y de fuerza,
para echarle en cara a Jacob su delito;
para reprocharle a Israel su pecado.
El gobierno corrupto, causa de la caída de Sión
9 Escuchad esto vosotros,
gobernantes del pueblo de Jacob,
y autoridades del reino de Israel,
que abomináis la justicia y torcéis el derecho,
10 que edificáis a Sión con sangre
y a Jerusalén con injusticia.
11 Sus gobernantes juzgan por soborno,
sus sacerdotes instruyen por paga,
y sus profetas predicen por dinero;
para colmo, se apoyan en el Señor, diciendo:
«¿No está el Señor entre nosotros?
¡No vendrá sobre nosotros ningún mal!»
12 Por lo tanto, por culpa vuestra
Sión será como un campo arado;
Jerusalén quedará en ruinas,
y el monte del templo se volverá un matorral.
Micah 3
New King James Version
Wicked Rulers and Prophets
3 And I said:
“Hear now, O heads of Jacob,
And you (A)rulers of the house of Israel:
(B)Is it not for you to know justice?
2 You who hate good and love evil;
Who strip the skin from [a]My people,
And the flesh from their bones;
3 Who also (C)eat the flesh of My people,
Flay their skin from them,
Break their bones,
And chop them in pieces
Like meat for the pot,
(D)Like flesh in the caldron.”
4 Then (E)they will cry to the Lord,
But He will not hear them;
He will even hide His face from them at that time,
Because they have been evil in their deeds.
5 Thus says the Lord (F)concerning the prophets
Who make my people stray;
Who chant [b]“Peace”
[c]While they (G)chew with their teeth,
But who prepare war against him
(H)Who puts nothing into their mouths:
6 “Therefore(I) you shall have night without [d]vision,
And you shall have darkness without divination;
The sun shall go down on the prophets,
And the day shall be dark for (J)them.
7 So the seers shall be ashamed,
And the diviners abashed;
Indeed they shall all cover their lips;
(K)For there is no answer from God.”
8 But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord,
And of justice and might,
(L)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 [e]pervert all equity,
10 (M)Who build up Zion with (N)bloodshed
And Jerusalem with iniquity:
11 (O)Her heads judge for a bribe,
(P)Her priests teach for pay,
And her prophets divine for [f]money.
(Q)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 (R)plowed like a field,
(S)Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins,
And (T)the mountain of the [g]temple
Like the bare hills of the forest.

Micah 3
King James Version
3 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?
2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
4 Then shall they cry unto the Lord, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
5 Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.
6 Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.
8 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.
10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evil can come upon us.
12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
