Micah 3:9-12
English Standard Version
9 (A)Hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob
and rulers of the house of Israel,
(B)who detest justice
and make crooked all that is straight,
10 (C)who build Zion with blood
and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 (D)Its heads give judgment for a bribe;
(E)its priests teach for a price;
(F)its prophets practice divination for money;
(G)yet they lean on the Lord and (H)say,
“Is not the Lord in the midst of us?
(I)No disaster shall come upon us.”
12 Therefore because of you
(J)Zion shall be plowed as a field;
Jerusalem (K)shall become a heap of ruins,
and (L)the mountain of the house (M)a wooded height.
Micah 3:9-12
Revised Standard Version
9 Hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob
and rulers of the house of Israel,
who abhor justice
and pervert all equity,
10 who build Zion with blood
and Jerusalem with wrong.
11 Its heads give judgment for a bribe,
its priests teach for hire,
its prophets divine for money;
yet they lean upon the Lord and say,
“Is not the Lord in the midst of us?
No evil shall come upon us.”
12 Therefore because of you
Zion shall be plowed as a field;
Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins,
and the mountain of the house a wooded height.
