Micah 3:1-4
Legacy Standard Bible
Yahweh Will Not Answer
3 And I said,
“(A)Hear now, heads of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel.
Is it not for you to (B)know justice?
2 You who hate good and love evil,
Who (C)tear off their skin from them
And their flesh from their bones,
3 And who (D)eat the flesh of my people,
Strip off their skin from them,
Break their bones,
And (E)spread them out as for the pot
And as meat in a caldron.”
4 Then they will (F)cry out to Yahweh,
But He will not answer them.
Instead, He will (G)hide His face from them at that time
Because they have (H)practiced evil deeds.
Micah 3:1-4
Common English Bible
Micah justifies the coming destruction
3 But I said:
Hear, leaders of Jacob,
rulers of the house of Israel!
Isn’t it your job to know justice?—
2 you who hate good and love evil,
who tear the skin off them, and the flesh off their bones,
3 who devour the flesh of my people,
tear off their skin,
break their bones in pieces,
and spread them out as if in a pot,
like meat in a kettle.
4 Then they will cry out to the Lord,
but he won’t answer them.
He will hide his face from them at that time,
because of their evil deeds.
