Micah 3

1 and to say to hear: hear please head: leader Jacob and chief house: household Israel not to/for you to/for to know [obj] [the] justice

Then I said: “Hear now, O leaders of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel. Should you not know justice?

2 to hate good and to love: lover (bad: evil *Q(K)*) to plunder skin their from upon them and flesh their from upon bone their

You hate good and love evil. You tear the skin from my people and strip the flesh from their bones.

3 and which to eat flesh people my and skin their from upon them to strip and [obj] bone their to break out and to spread like/as as which in/on/with pot and like/as flesh in/on/with midst caldron

You eat the flesh of my people after stripping off their skin and breaking their bones. You chop them up like flesh for the cooking pot, like meat in a cauldron.”

4 then to cry out to(wards) LORD and not to answer [obj] them and to hide face his from them in/on/with time [the] he/she/it like/as as which be evil deed their

Then they will cry out to the LORD, but He will not answer them. At that time He will hide His face from them because of the evil they have done.

5 thus to say LORD upon [the] prophet [the] to go astray [obj] people my [the] to bite in/on/with tooth their and to call: call out peace and which not to give: give upon lip their and to consecrate: prepare upon him battle

This is what the LORD says: “As for the prophets who lead My people astray, who proclaim peace while they chew with their teeth, but declare war against one who puts nothing in their mouths:

6 to/for so night to/for you from vision and to darken to/for you from to divine and to come (in): (sun)set [the] sun upon [the] prophet and be dark upon them [the] day

Therefore night will come over you without visions, and darkness without divination. The sun will set on these prophets, and the daylight will turn black over them.

7 and be ashamed [the] seer and be ashamed [the] to divine and to enwrap upon mustache all their for nothing answer God

Then the seers will be ashamed and the diviners will be disgraced. They will all cover their mouths because there is no answer from God.”

8 and but I to fill strength [obj] spirit LORD and justice and might to/for to tell to/for Jacob transgression his and to/for Israel sin his

As for me, however, I am filled with power by the Spirit of the LORD, with justice and courage, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.

9 to hear: hear please this head: leader house: household Jacob and chief house: household Israel [the] to abhor justice and [obj] all [the] upright to twist

Now hear this, O leaders of the house of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel, who despise justice and pervert all that is right,

10 to build Zion in/on/with blood and Jerusalem in/on/with injustice

who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with iniquity.

11 head: leader her in/on/with bribe to judge and priest her in/on/with price to show and prophet her in/on/with silver: money to divine and upon LORD to lean to/for to say not LORD in/on/with entrails: among our not to come (in): come upon us distress: harm

Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets practice divination for money. Yet they lean upon the LORD, saying, “Is not the LORD among us? No disaster can come upon us.”

12 to/for so in/on/with because of you Zion land: country to plow/plot and Jerusalem ruin to be and mountain: mount [the] house: home to/for high place wood

Therefore, because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the temple mount a wooded ridge.
