Micah 3:5-12

Micah 3:5-12

[5] Thus saith  the LORD  concerning the prophets  that make my people  err,  that bite  with their teeth,  and cry,  Peace;  and he that putteth  not into their mouths,  they even prepare  war  [6] Therefore night  shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision;  and it shall be dark  unto you, that ye shall not divine;  and the sun  shall go down  over the prophets,  and the day  shall be dark  over them. [7] Then shall the seers  be ashamed,  and the diviners  confounded:  yea, they shall all cover  their lips;  for there is no answer  of God.  [8] But truly  I am full  of power  by the spirit  of the LORD,  and of judgment,  and of might,  to declare  unto Jacob  his transgression,  and to Israel  his sin.  [9] Hear  this, I pray you, ye heads  of the house  of Jacob,  and princes  of the house  of Israel,  that abhor  judgment,  and pervert  all equity.  [10] They build up  Zion  with blood,  and Jerusalem  with iniquity.  [11] The heads  thereof judge  for reward,  and the priests  thereof teach  for hire,  and the prophets  thereof divine  for money:  yet will they lean  upon the LORD,  and say,  Is not the LORD  among  us? none evil  can come  [12] Therefore shall Zion  for your sake  be plowed  as a field,  and Jerusalem  shall become heaps,  and the mountain  of the house  as the high places  of the forest.
