“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,”
Micah 3:9 (BSB)
Context Reading
7Then the seers will be ashamed and the diviners will be disgraced. They will all cover their mouths because there is no answer from God.” 8As 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. 9Now 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, 10who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with iniquity. 11Her 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.”
