Micah 3:11

Israel's Leaders Denounced

¹⁰ Ye that build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with doing wrong. ¹¹ O ye judges, ye give sentence for gifts; O ye priests, ye teach for lucre; O ye prophets, ye prophesy for money. Yet will they be taken as those that hold upon God, and say, "Is not the LORD among us? Tush, there can no misfortune happen us." ¹² Therefore shall Zion, for your sakes, be plowed like a field: Jerusalem shall become a heap of stones, and the hill of the temple shall be turned to a high wood.
