Micah 3:9 Context
7Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diuiners confounded: yea, they shall all couer their lips; for there is no answere of God. 8¶ But truely I am full of power by the spirit of the Lord, and of iudgment and of might, to declare vnto Iacob his transgression, and to Israel his sinne. 9Heare this, I pray you, yee heads of the house of Iacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhorre iudgement and peruert all equitie. 10They build vp Zion with blood, and Ierusalem with iniquitie. 11The heads thereof iudge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hyre, and the Prophets thereof diuine for money: yet will they leane vpon the Lord, and say; Is not the Lord among vs? none euill can come vpon vs.
