Micah 3:5-10 English Standard Version (ESV)

5. Thus says the Lord concerning the prophetswho lead my people astray, who cry “Peace”when they have something to eat,but declare war against himwho puts nothing into their mouths.

6. Therefore it shall be night to you, without vision,and darkness to you, without divination. The sun shall go down on the prophets,and the day shall be black over them;

7. the seers shall be disgraced,and the diviners put to shame; they shall all cover their lips,for there is no answer from God.

8. But as for me, I am filled with power,with the Spirit of the Lord,and with justice and might,to declare to Jacob his transgressionand to Israel his sin.

9. Hear this, you heads of the house of Jacoband rulers of the house of Israel, who detest justiceand make crooked all that is straight,

10. who build Zion with bloodand Jerusalem with iniquity.
