Micah 3:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ Leaders of [^Lthe house of] Jacob and rulers of [^Lthe house of] Israel,
    listen to me,
you who hate ·fairness [justice]
    and ·twist [pervert; distort] what is ·right [straight].
¹⁰ You build ·Jerusalem [^LZion; ^Cthe location of the Temple] ·by murdering people [^Lwith bloodshed];
    you build it with ·evil [wickedness; iniquity].
¹¹ Its ·judges take money
    to decide who wins in court [^Lrulers judge for a bribe].
Its priests only teach for ·pay [a price],
    and its prophets ·only look into the future when they get paid [tell fortunes/practice divination for money].
But they lean on the Lord and say,
    “The Lord is here with us,
    so ·nothing bad [no harm] will ·happen to [overtake; come upon] us.”
