Micah 3:10-12
Contemporary English Version
Micah 3:10-12
Contemporary English Version
10 You make cruelty and murder
a way of life in Jerusalem.
11 You leaders accept bribes
for dishonest decisions.
You priests and prophets
teach and preach,
but only for money.
Then you say,
“The Lord is on our side.
No harm will come to us.”
12 (A) And so, because of you,
Jerusalem will be plowed under
and left in ruins.
Thorns will cover the mountain
where the temple now stands.

Micah 3:10-12
New International Version
10 who build(A) Zion with bloodshed,(B)
and Jerusalem with wickedness.(C)
11 Her leaders judge for a bribe,(D)
her priests teach for a price,(E)
and her prophets tell fortunes for money.(F)
Yet they look(G) for the Lord’s support and say,
“Is not the Lord among us?
No disaster will come upon us.”(H)
12 Therefore because of you,
Zion will be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble,(I)
the temple(J) hill a mound overgrown with thickets.(K)
