Micah 3:7-11 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7. Then the seers will be ashamed and the diviners disappointed. They will all cover their mouths because there will be no answer from God.

8. As for me, however, I am filled with power by the Spirit of the Lord,with justice and courage,to proclaim to Jacob his rebellionand to Israel his sin.

9. Listen to this, leaders of the house of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel,who abhor justice and pervert everything that is right,

10. who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with injustice.

11. Her leaders issue rulings for a bribe, her priests teach for payment, and her prophets practice divination for money.Yet they lean on the Lord, saying,“Isn’t the Lord among us?No disaster will overtake us.”
