Miqueas 3
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Contra los jefes que abusan del pueblo
3 Yo digo: Escúchenme, jefes de Jacob,
óiganme, dirigentes de Israel:
¿No les corresponde a ustedes
ocuparse del derecho?
2 Odian el bien y aman el mal,
arrancan la piel a la gente
y dejan sus huesos al desnudo.
3 Esos que comen la carne de mi pueblo,
le arrancan la piel y quiebran sus huesos,
cortan su carne en pedazos
para echarlos a la olla o la caldera,
4 cuando griten al Señor,
no tendrán respuesta alguna.
El Señor les ocultará su rostro
a causa de sus malas acciones.
Los profetas que se venden
5 Así dice el Señor contra los profetas
que extravían a mi pueblo:
Mientras tienen algo que comer,
proclaman: “Todo es paz”,
pero declaran una guerra santa
a quien se niega a llenarles la boca.
6 Por eso se abatirá sobre ustedes
una noche sin visiones,
una oscuridad sin predicciones;
se ocultará el sol para esos profetas,
el día se les convertirá en tinieblas.
7 Avergonzados y ruborizados,
videntes y adivinos taparán su rostro
al no tener respuesta de Dios.
8 Pero yo estoy lleno de valor,
de espíritu divino, justicia y fortaleza,
para reprochar a Jacob sus crímenes
y sus pecados a Israel.
Denuncia y castigo
9 Escuchen esto, jefes de Jacob,
oigan, gobernantes de Israel,
los que detestan la justicia
y violan todo derecho,
10 construyendo a Sión con sangre
y a Jerusalén a fuerza de delitos.
11 Sus jueces juzgan por soborno,
sus sacerdotes predican a sueldo
y sus profetas vaticinan por dinero.
Pero aún se apoyan en el Señor y dicen:
“¿Acaso no está el Señor con nosotros?
¡No nos alcanzará la desgracia!”.
12 Pues bien, por culpa de ustedes
Sión será arada como un campo,
Jerusalén terminará en montón de piedras
y el monte del Templo en cerro de espinos.

Leaders and Prophets Rebuked
3 Then I said,
“Listen, you leaders(A) of Jacob,
you rulers of Israel.
Should you not embrace justice,
2 you who hate good and love evil;
who tear the skin from my people
and the flesh from their bones;(B)
3 who eat my people’s flesh,(C)
strip off their skin
and break their bones in pieces;(D)
who chop(E) them up like meat for the pan,
like flesh for the pot?(F)”
4 Then they will cry out to the Lord,
but he will not answer them.(G)
At that time he will hide his face(H) from them
because of the evil they have done.(I)
5 This is what the Lord says:
“As for the prophets
who lead my people astray,(J)
they proclaim ‘peace’(K)
if they have something to eat,
but prepare to wage war against anyone
who refuses to feed them.
6 Therefore night will come over you, without visions,
and darkness, without divination.(L)
The sun will set for the prophets,(M)
and the day will go dark for them.(N)
7 The seers will be ashamed(O)
and the diviners disgraced.(P)
They will all cover(Q) their faces(R)
because there is no answer from God.(S)”
8 But as for me, I am filled with power,
with the Spirit of the Lord,
and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob his transgression,
to Israel his sin.(T)
9 Hear this, you leaders of Jacob,
you rulers of Israel,
who despise justice
and distort all that is right;(U)
10 who build(V) Zion with bloodshed,(W)
and Jerusalem with wickedness.(X)
11 Her leaders judge for a bribe,(Y)
her priests teach for a price,(Z)
and her prophets tell fortunes for money.(AA)
Yet they look(AB) for the Lord’s support and say,
“Is not the Lord among us?
No disaster will come upon us.”(AC)
12 Therefore because of you,
Zion will be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble,(AD)
the temple(AE) hill a mound overgrown with thickets.(AF)

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.
