< Micah 3 >

1 And I say, 'Hear, I pray you, heads of Jacob, And ye judges of the house of Israel, Is it not for you to know the judgment?
And I said hear please O chiefs of Jacob and O rulers of [the] house of Israel ¿ not [belong] to you [does] to know justice.
2 Ye who are hating good, and loving evil, Taking violently their skin from off them, And their flesh from off their bones,
Haters of good and lovers of (evil *Q(K)*) tearers away of skin their from on them and flesh their from on bones their.
3 And who have eaten the flesh of My people, And their skin from off them have stript, And their bones they have broken, And they have spread [them] out as in a pot, And as flesh in the midst of a caldron.
And [those] who they have eaten [the] flesh of people my and skin their from on them they have stripped off and bones their they have broken in pieces and they have chopped [them] up just as in the pot and like meat in [the] midst of a caldron.
4 Then do they cry unto Jehovah, And He doth not answer them, And hideth His face from them at that time, As they have made evil their doings.
Then they will cry out to Yahweh and not he will answer them and he will hide face his from them at the time that since they have made evil deeds their.
5 Thus said Jehovah concerning the prophets Who are causing My people to err, Who are biting with their teeth, And have cried 'Peace,' And he who doth not give unto their mouth, They have sanctified against him war.
Thus he says Yahweh on the prophets who mislead people my who bite with teeth their and they proclaim peace and [the one] who not he puts on mouth their and they consecrate on him war.
6 Therefore a night ye have without vision, And darkness ye have without divination, And gone in hath the sun on the prophets, And black over them hath been the day.
Therefore night [will belong] to you from vision and it will grow dark to you from divining and it will go the sun on the prophets and it will be dark on them the day.
7 And ashamed have been the seers, And confounded have been the diviners, And covered their lip have all of them, For their is no answer, O God.
And they will be ashamed the seers and they will be abashed those [who] divine and they will cover over a moustache all of them for there not [will be] an answer of God.
8 And yet I have been full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah, And of judgment, and of might, To declare to Jacob his transgression, And to Israel his sin.
And but I I am full power with [the] spirit of Yahweh and justice and might to declare to Jacob transgression its and to Israel sin its.
9 Hear this, I pray you, heads of the house of Jacob, And ye judges of the house of Israel, Who are making judgment abominable, And all uprightness do pervert.
Hear please this O chiefs of [the] house of Jacob and O rulers of [the] house of Israel who loathe justice and every straight [thing] they make crooked.
10 Building up Zion with blood, And Jerusalem with iniquity.
[who] build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with injustice.
11 Her heads for a bribe do judge, And her priests for hire do teach, And her prophets for silver divine, And on Jehovah they lean, saying, 'Is not Jehovah in our midst? Evil doth not come in upon us.'
Chiefs its - for a bribe they judge and priests its for a price they teach and prophets its for money they divine and on Yahweh they depend saying ¿ not [is] Yahweh in midst our not it will come on us calamity.
12 Therefore, for your sake, Zion is ploughed a field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mount of the house [is] for high places of a forest!
Therefore on account of you Zion a field it will be plowed and Jerusalem heaps of ruins it will be and [the] mountain of the house high places of a forest.
