Micah 3:2-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
2
You who hate good and love evil,
Who tear off their skin from them
And their flesh from their bones,
3
Who eat the flesh of my people,
Strip off their skin from them,
Smash their bones,
And chop
them
up as for the pot,
And as meat in a cauldron!'
4
Then they will cry out to the
Lord
,
But He will not answer them.
Instead, He will hide His face from them at that time
Because they have practiced evil deeds.
5
This is what the
Lord
says concerning the prophets who lead my people astray:
When
they have
something
to bite with their teeth,
They cry out, 'Peace!'
But against him who puts nothing in their mouths
They declare holy war.
6
Therefore
it will be
night for you—without vision,
And darkness for you—without divination.
The sun will go down on the prophets,
And the day will become dark over them.
7
The seers will be put to shame,
And the diviners will be ashamed.
Indeed, they will all cover
their
lips
Because there is no answer from God.
8
On the other hand, I am filled with power—
With the Spirit of the
Lord
—
And with justice and courage
To make known to Jacob his rebellious act,
And to Israel his sin.
9
Now hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel,
Who despise justice
And twist everything that is straight,
King James Version
Chapter 3
2
Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
3
Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
4
Then shall they cry unto the
Lord
, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
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 against him.
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
2
You hate good and love evil.
You tear off people’s skin
and strip their flesh from their bones.
3
You eat the flesh of my people
after you strip their skin from them
and break their bones.
You chop them up
like flesh for the cooking pot,
like meat in a cauldron."
4
Then they will cry out to the
Lord
,
but he will not answer them.
He will hide his face from them at that time
because of the crimes they have committed.
5
This is what the
Lord
says
concerning the prophets
who lead my people astray,
who proclaim peace
when they have food to sink their teeth into
but declare war against the one
who puts nothing in their mouths.
6
Therefore, it will be night for you—
without visions;
it will grow dark for you—
without divination.
The sun will set on these prophets,
and the daylight will turn black over them.
7
Then the seers will be ashamed
and the diviners disappointed.
They will all cover their mouths
because there will be no answer from God.
8
As for me, however, I am filled with power
by the Spirit of the
Lord
,
with justice and courage,
to proclaim to Jacob his rebellion
and to Israel his sin.
9
Listen to this, leaders of the house of Jacob,
you rulers of the house of Israel,
who abhor justice
and pervert everything that is right,
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
2
but you are the very ones
who hate good and love evil.
You skin my people alive
and tear the flesh from their bones.
3
Yes, you eat my people’s flesh,
strip off their skin,
and break their bones.
You chop them up
like meat for the cooking pot.
4
Then you beg the
Lord
for help in times of trouble!
Do you really expect him to answer?
After all the evil you have done,
he won’t even look at you!'
5
This is what the
Lord
says:
'You false prophets are leading my people astray!
You promise peace for those who give you food,
but you declare war on those who refuse to feed you.
6
Now the night will close around you,
cutting off all your visions.
Darkness will cover you,
putting an end to your predictions.
The sun will set for you prophets,
and your day will come to an end.
7
Then you seers will be put to shame,
and you fortune-tellers will be disgraced.
And you will cover your faces
because there is no answer from God.'
8
But as for me, I am filled with power —
with the Spirit of the
Lord
.
I am filled with justice and strength
to boldly declare Israel’s sin and rebellion.
9
Listen to me, you leaders of Israel!
You hate justice and twist all that is right.
English Standard Version
Chapter 3
2
you who hate the good and love the evil,
who tear the skin from off my people
and their flesh from off their bones,
3
who eat the flesh of my people,
and flay their skin from off them,
and break their bones in pieces
and chop them up like meat in a pot,
like flesh in a cauldron.
4
Then they will cry to the
Lord
,
but he will not answer them;
he will hide his face from them at that time,
because they have made their deeds evil.
5
Thus says the
Lord
concerning the prophets
who lead my people astray,
who cry "Peace"
when they have something to eat,
but declare war against him
who puts nothing into their mouths.
6
Therefore it shall be night to you, without vision,
and darkness to you, without divination.
The sun shall go down on the prophets,
and the day shall be black over them;
7
the seers shall be disgraced,
and the diviners put to shame;
they shall all cover their lips,
for there is no answer from God.
8
But as for me, I am filled with power,
with the Spirit of the
Lord
,
and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob his transgression
and to Israel his sin.
9
Hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob
and rulers of the house of Israel,
who detest justice
and make crooked all that is straight,
New International Version
Chapter 3
2
you who hate good and love evil;
who tear the skin from my people
and the flesh from their bones;
3
who eat my people’s flesh,
strip off their skin
and break their bones in pieces;
who chop them up like meat for the pan,
like flesh for the pot?"
4
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
This is what the
Lord
says:
"As for the prophets
who lead my people astray,
they proclaim ‘peace’
if they have something to eat,
but prepare to wage war against anyone
who refuses to feed them.
6
Therefore night will come over you, without visions,
and darkness, without divination.
The sun will set for the prophets,
and the day will go dark for them.
7
The seers will be ashamed
and the diviners disgraced.
They will all cover their faces
because there is no answer from God."
8
But as for me, I am filled with power,
with the Spirit of the
Lord
,
and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob his transgression,
to Israel his sin.
9
Hear this, you leaders of Jacob,
you rulers of Israel,
who despise justice
and distort all that is right;
New King James Version
Chapter 3
2
You who hate good and love evil;
Who strip the skin from My people,
And the flesh from their bones;
3
Who also eat the flesh of My people,
Flay their skin from them,
Break their bones,
And chop
them
in pieces
Like
meat
for the pot,
Like flesh in the caldron.”
4
Then they will cry to the
Lord
,
But He will not hear them;
He will even hide His face from them at that time,
Because they have been evil in their deeds.
5
Thus says the
Lord
concerning the prophets
Who make my people stray;
Who chant “Peace”
While they chew with their teeth,
But who prepare war against him
Who puts nothing into their mouths:
6
“Therefore 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 them.
7
So the seers shall be ashamed,
And the diviners abashed;
Indeed they shall all cover their lips;
For
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,
To declare to Jacob his transgression
And to Israel his sin.
9
Now hear this,
You heads of the house of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel,
Who abhor justice
And pervert all equity,
