Micah 3

KJV

1  And I said,559 Hear,8085 I pray you,4994 O heads7218 of Jacob,3290 and ye princes7101 of the house1004 of Israel;3478 Is it not3808 for you to know3045 853 judgment?4941

2  Who hate8130 the good,2896 and love157 the evil;7451 who pluck off1497 their skin5785 from off4480 5921 them, and their flesh7607 from off4480 5921 their bones;6106

3  Who834 also eat398 the flesh7607 of my people,5971 and flay6584 their skin5785 from off4480 5921 them; and they break6476 their bones,6106 and chop them in pieces,6566 as834 for the pot,5518 and as flesh1320 within8432 the caldron.7037

4  Then227 shall they cry2199 unto413 the LORD,3068 but he will not3808 hear6030 them: he will even hide5641 his face6440 from4480 them at that1931 time,6256 as834 they have behaved themselves ill7489 in their doings.4611

5  Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 concerning5921 the prophets5030 that make 853 my people5971 err,8582 that bite5391 with their teeth,8127 and cry,7121 Peace;7965 and he that834 putteth5414 not3808 into5921 their mouths,6310 they even prepare6942 war4421 against5921 him.

6  Therefore3651 night3915 shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision;4480 2377 and it shall be dark2821 unto you, that ye shall not divine;4480 7080 and the sun8121 shall go down935 over5921 the prophets,5030 and the day3117 shall be dark6937 over5921 them.

7  Then shall the seers2374 be ashamed,954 and the diviners7080 confounded:2659 yea, they shall all3605 cover5844 5921 their lips;8222 for3588 there is no369 answer4617 of God.430

8  But truly199 I595 am full4390 of power3581 by854 the spirit7307 of the LORD,3068 and of judgment,4941 and of might,1369 to declare5046 unto Jacob3290 his transgression,6588 and to Israel3478 his sin.2403

9  Hear8085 this,2063 I pray you,4994 ye heads7218 of the house1004 of Jacob,3290 and princes7101 of the house1004 of Israel,3478 that abhor8581 judgment,4941 and pervert6140 all3605 equity.3477

10  They build up1129 Zion6726 with blood,1818 and Jerusalem3389 with iniquity.5766

11  The heads7218 thereof judge8199 for reward,7810 and the priests3548 thereof teach3384 for hire,4242 and the prophets5030 thereof divine7080 for money:3701 yet will they lean8172 upon5921 the LORD,3068 and say,559 Is not3808 the LORD3068 among7130 us? none3808 evil7451 can come935 upon5921 us.

12  Therefore3651 shall Zion6726 for your sake1558 be plowed2790 as a field,7704 and Jerusalem3389 shall become1961 heaps,5856 and the mountain2022 of the house1004 as the high places1116 of the forest.3293

1 καὶ ἐρεῖ ἀκούσατε δὴ ταῦτα αἱ ἀρχαὶ οἴκου Ιακωβ καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι οἴκου Ισραηλ οὐχ ὑμῖν ἐστιν τοῦ γνῶναι τὸ κρίμα

2 οἱ μισοῦντες τὰ καλὰ καὶ ζητοῦντες τὰ πονηρά ἁρπάζοντες τὰ δέρματα αὐτῶν ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς σάρκας αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῶν ὀστέων αὐτῶν

3 ὃν τρόπον κατέφαγον τὰς σάρκας τοῦ λαοῦ μου καὶ τὰ δέρματα αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῶν ὀστέων αὐτῶν ἐξέδειραν καὶ τὰ ὀστέα αὐτῶν συνέθλασαν καὶ ἐμέλισαν ὡς σάρκας εἰς λέβητα καὶ ὡς κρέα εἰς χύτραν

4 οὕτως κεκράξονται πρὸς κύριον καὶ οὐκ εἰσακούσεται αὐτῶν καὶ ἀποστρέψει τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀνθ᾽ ὧν ἐπονηρεύσαντο ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασιν αὐτῶν ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς

5 τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐπὶ τοὺς προφήτας τοὺς πλανῶντας τὸν λαόν μου τοὺς δάκνοντας ἐν τοῖς ὀδοῦσιν αὐτῶν καὶ κηρύσσοντας ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν εἰρήνην καὶ οὐκ ἐδόθη εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν ἤγειραν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν πόλεμον

6 διὰ τοῦτο νὺξ ὑμῖν ἔσται ἐξ ὁράσεως καὶ σκοτία ὑμῖν ἔσται ἐκ μαντείας καὶ δύσεται ὁ ἥλιος ἐπὶ τοὺς προφήτας καὶ συσκοτάσει ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς ἡ ἡμέρα

7 καὶ καταισχυνθήσονται οἱ ὁρῶντες τὰ ἐνύπνια καὶ καταγελασθήσονται οἱ μάντεις καὶ καταλαλήσουσιν κατ᾽ αὐτῶν πάντες αὐτοί διότι οὐκ ἔσται ὁ εἰσακούων αὐτῶν

8 ἐὰν μὴ ἐγὼ ἐμπλήσω ἰσχὺν ἐν πνεύματι κυρίου καὶ κρίματος καὶ δυναστείας τοῦ ἀπαγγεῖλαι τῷ Ιακωβ ἀσεβείας αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ Ισραηλ ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ

9 ἀκούσατε δὴ ταῦτα οἱ ἡγούμενοι οἴκου Ιακωβ καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι οἴκου Ισραηλ οἱ βδελυσσόμενοι κρίμα καὶ πάντα τὰ ὀρθὰ διαστρέφοντες

10 οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες Σιων ἐν αἵμασιν καὶ Ιερουσαλημ ἐν ἀδικίαις

11 οἱ ἡγούμενοι αὐτῆς μετὰ δώρων ἔκρινον καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτῆς μετὰ μισθοῦ ἀπεκρίνοντο καὶ οἱ προφῆται αὐτῆς μετὰ ἀργυρίου ἐμαντεύοντο καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον ἐπανεπαύοντο λέγοντες οὐχὶ κύριος ἐν ἡμῖν ἐστιν οὐ μὴ ἐπέλθῃ ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς κακά

12 διὰ τοῦτο δι᾽ ὑμᾶς Σιων ὡς ἀγρὸς ἀροτριαθήσεται καὶ Ιερουσαλημ ὡς ὀπωροφυλάκιον ἔσται καὶ τὸ ὄρος τοῦ οἴκου ὡς ἄλσος δρυμοῦ

1 [Et dixi: Audite, princeps Jacob,
et duces domus Israël:
numquid non vestrum est scire judicium,

2 qui odio habetis bonum, et diligitis malum;
qui violenter tollitis pelles eorum desuper eis,
et carnem eorum desuper ossibus eorum;

3 qui comederunt carnem populi mei,
et pellem eorum desuper excoriaverunt,
et ossa eorum confregerunt,
et conciderunt sicut in lebete,
et quasi carnem in medio ollæ?

4 Tunc clamabunt ad Dominum, et non exaudiet eos,
et abscondet faciem suam ab eis in tempore illo,
sicut nequiter egerunt in adinventionibus suis.

5 Hæc dicit Dominus super prophetas,
qui seducunt populum meum:
qui mordent dentibus suis,
et prædicant pacem;
et si quis non dederit in ore eorum quippiam,
sanctificant super eum prælium.

6 Propterea nox vobis pro visione erit,
et tenebræ vobis pro divinatione;
et occumbet sol super prophetas,
et obtenebrabitur super eos dies.

7 Et confundentur qui vident visiones,
et confundentur divini;
et operient omnes vultos suos,
quia non est responsum Dei.

8 Verumtamen ego repletus sum fortitudine spiritus Domini,
judicio, et virtute,
ut annuntiem Jacob scelus suum,
et Israël peccatum suum.

9 Audite hoc, principes domus Jacob,
et judices domus Israël,
qui abominamini judicium,
et omnia recta pervertitis:

10 qui ædificatis Sion in sanguinibus,
et Jerusalem in iniquitate.

11 Principes ejus in muneribus judicabant,
et sacerdotes ejus in mercede docebant,
et prophetæ ejus in pecunia divinabant:
et super Dominum requiescebant, dicentes:
Numquid non Dominus in medio nostrum?
non venient super nos mala.

12 Propter hoc, causa vestri, Sion quasi ager arabitur,
et Jerusalem quasi acervus lapidum erit,
et mons templi in excelsa silvarum.]
