Micah 3:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ You build up Zion by spilling the blood of others.
    You build Jerusalem by doing what is evil.
¹¹ Your judges take money from people
    who want special favors.
    Your priests teach only if they get paid for it.
Your prophets won’t tell fortunes
    unless they receive money.
    But you still look for the Lord’s help.
You say, “The Lord is with us.
    No trouble will come on us.”
¹² So because of what you have done,
    Zion will be plowed up like a field.
Jerusalem will be turned into a pile of trash.
    The temple hill will be covered with bushes and weeds.
