Micah 3:10

Israel's Leaders Denounced

⁹ Then give ear to this, you heads of the children of Jacob, you rulers of the children of Israel, hating what is right, twisting what is straight. ¹⁰ They are building up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with evil-doing. ¹¹ Its heads take rewards for judging, and the priests take payment for teaching, and the prophets get silver for reading the future: but still, supporting themselves on the Lord, they say, Is not the Lord among us? no evil will overtake us.

With Blood

Jerusalem

Zion
