Wicked Rulers and Prophets
“Hear now, O heads of Jacob,
And you arulers of the house of Israel:
bIs it not for you to know justice?
Who strip the skin from1 My people,
And the flesh from their bones;
Flay their skin from them,
Break their bones,
And chop them in pieces
Like meat for the pot,
bLike flesh in the caldron.”
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.
Who make my people stray;
Who chant1 “Peace”
While they bchew with their teeth,
But who prepare war against him
cWho puts nothing into their mouths:
And you shall have darkness without divination;
The sun shall go down on the prophets,
And the day shall be dark for bthem.

Micah 3:2
The good - Ye who hate not only to do good, but the good which is done, and those that do it. The evil - Chuse, and delight in, both evil works and evil workers. Who pluck it off - Ye who use the flock as cruelly as the shepherd, who instead of shearing the fleece, would pluck off the skin and flesh.
| << Micah 3:1 | Micah 3:3 >> |
