Micah 3:9-11

^{Tools
9}

Now hear this, ^(A)heads of the house of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel,
Who ^(B)abhor justice
And twist everything that is straight,

^{Tools
10}

Who ^(C)build Zion with bloodshed
And Jerusalem with violent injustice.

^{Tools
11}

Her leaders pronounce ^(D)judgment for a bribe,
Her ^(E)priests instruct for a price
And her prophets divine for money.
Yet they lean on the Lord saying,
“^(F)Is not the Lord in our midst?
Calamity will not come upon us.”
