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
International Standard Version
3 “He will say, ‘Listen, you leaders of Jacob,
you officials of the house of Israel!
You should know justice, should you not?—
2 you who despise good and love evil,
who tear off the skin of my people,[a]
along with the flesh from their bones.
3 You eat the flesh of my people,
flaying their skin from them.
You break their bones,
chopping them in pieces like meat[b] for a pot,
like meat destined for a soup kettle.’
4 “Then they will cry to the Lord,
but he will not listen to them.
In fact, he will hide his face from them at that time,
because they were so wicked in what they were doing.”
