MICAH.
3.
Then I said, “You Israeli MTY leaders, listen  to what I say! You should certainly RHQ know what things are right  to do  and what things are wrong, 
but you hate what is good and you love what is evil.  You act like butchers:  it is as though you strip the skin off my people and  tear  the flesh from their bones. 
 It is as though you chop them into pieces like SIM meat  to be cooked in a pot. 
Then,  when you have troubles, you plead to Yahweh  to help you, but he will not answer you. At that time, he will turn away from you because of the evil things that you have done.” 
This is what Yahweh says about your  false prophets who are deceiving the people: “If someone gives them food, those prophets say that things will go well for him. But they declare war against anyone who does not give them food. 
So  now it is as though MET night will descend on you prophets; you will not receive any  more visions.  It is as though MET the sun will set for you; the time  when you are greatly honored will end. 
 Then you ◄seers/people who predict what will happen in the future► DOU will be disgraced; you will cover your faces  because you will be ashamed, because when you ask me  what will happen, there will be no answer from me.” 
But as for me, I am full of  God’s power,  power from the Spirit of Yahweh. I am courageous and strong to declare to the Israeli people MTY, DOU that they have sinned and rebelled  against Yahweh. 
You leaders of the people MTY of Israel, listen to this! You hate  it when people do what is just; and  when people say what is true, you distort it,  saying it is false. 
 It is as though you are building  houses in Jerusalem on foundations that consist of murdering people and doing what is corrupt. 
Your leaders make  favorable decisions  only if they receive bribes. Your priests teach people only if  those people pay them  well. Your  false prophets require people to pay them to tell people what will happen  to them in the future. Those prophets say, “Yahweh is telling us  what we should say, and  we say that we will not experience any disasters.” 
Because of what you  leaders do, Zion  Hill will be plowed like a field; it will become a heap of ruins/rubble; the top of the hill, where the temple is  now, will be covered with bushes.
