Micah 3:10-12
New American Standard Bible 1995
10 Who (A)build Zion with bloodshed
And Jerusalem with violent injustice.
11 Her leaders pronounce (B)judgment for a bribe,
Her (C)priests instruct for a price
And her prophets divine for money.
Yet they lean on the Lord saying,
“(D)Is not the Lord in our midst?
Calamity will not come upon us.”
12 Therefore, on account of you
(E)Zion will be plowed as a field,
(F)Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins,
And the (G)mountain of the [a]temple will become high places of a forest.
