Micah 3:1-3

Rulers Denounced

^{Tools
1} And I said,

“^(A)Hear now, heads of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel.
Is it not for you to ^(B)know justice?

^{Tools
2}

“You who hate good and love evil,
Who ^(C)tear off their skin from them
And their flesh from their bones,

^{Tools
3}

Who ^(D)eat the flesh of my people,
Strip off their skin from them,
Break their bones
And ^(E)chop them up as for the pot
And as meat in a kettle.”
