Micah 3:9-11

International Standard Version

⁹ Please listen to this, you leaders of the house of Jacob,
    you officials of the house of Israel,
you who hate administering justice,
    who pervert the very meaning of^[a] equity,
¹⁰ who are building up Zion by means of bloodshed,
    and Jerusalem by means of iniquity.
¹¹ Her leaders judge for the money,
    her priests teach only when they’re paid,
        and her prophets prophesy for cash.
Even so, don’t they all rely on the Lord as they ask,
    ‘The Lord is among us, is he not?
        Nothing bad can possibly happen to us!’
