Micah 3:8

Micah 3:8

6 “Therefore^a you shall have night without vision,
And you shall have darkness without divination;
The sun shall go down on the prophets,
And the day shall be dark for ^bthem.

7 So the seers shall be ashamed,
And the diviners abashed;
Indeed they shall all cover their lips;
^aFor 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,
^aTo declare to Jacob his transgression
And to Israel his sin.

9 Now hear this,
You heads of the house of Jacob
And¹ rulers of the house of Israel,
Who abhor justice
And pervert all equity,

10 ^aWho build up Zion with ^bbloodshed
And Jerusalem with iniquity:

11 ^aHer heads judge for a bribe,
^bHer priests teach for pay,
And her prophets divine for¹ money.
^cYet they lean on the Lord, and say,
“Is not the Lord among us?
No harm can come upon us.”

<< Micah 3:7

Micah 3:9 >>

But - I am full of power - Here is the character of the true prophet. He is filled, all his soul is occupied with power, coach , with heavenly energy; by the Spirit of the Lord, the fountain of all truth and might; and of judgment, which enables him to make a proper discernment between the precious and the vile; and of might, geburah , prevalent power, against which vice shall not be able to prevail, and before which iniquity shall not be able to stand: but all shall fall together, and be confounded.
