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.
