NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Micah 3

Rulers Denounced

1

And I saidh559, " aHearh8085 nowh4994, headsh7218 of Jacobh3290 And rulersh7101 of the househ1004 of Israelh3478. Is it not for you to  bknowh3045 justiceh4941?

2

"You who hateh8130 goodh2896b and loveh157 evilh7451b, Who  atearh1497 offh1497 their skinh5785 from them And their fleshh7607 from their bonesh6106,

3

Whoh834  aeath398 the fleshh7607 of my peopleh5971a, Striph6584 offh6584 their skinh5785 from them, Breakh6476 their bonesh6106 And  bchoph6566 them up as for the poth5518a And as meath1320 in a kettleh7037."

4

Thenh227 they will  acryh2199 out to the LORDh3068, But He will not answerh6030a them. Instead, He will  bhideh5641 His faceh6440 from them at that timeh6256 Becauseh834 they have  cpracticedh7489a evilh7489a deedsh4611.

5

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 concerningh5921 the prophetsh5030 who  aleadh8582 my peopleh5971a astrayh8582; When they have something to biteh5391a with their teethh8127, They  bcryh7121, "Peaceh7965," But againsth5921 him whoh834 putsh5414 nothingh3808 in their mouthsh6310 They declareh6942 holyh6942 warh4421.

6

Thereforeh3651 it will be  anighth3915 for you--withouth4480 visionh2377, And darknessh2825 for you--withouth4480 divinationh7080. The  bsunh8121 will goh935 down on the prophetsh5030, And the dayh3117 will becomeh6937 darkh6937 overh5921 them.

7

The seersh2374 will be  aashamedh954 And the  bdivinersh7080 will be embarrassedh2659. Indeed, they will allh3605  ccoverh5844a their  1mouthsh8222 Becauseh3588 thereh369 is  dnoh369 answerh4617 from Godh430.

8

On the otherh199 handh199  aI am filledh4390 with powerh3581b-- With the Spirith7307 of the LORDh3068-- And with justiceh4941 and courageh1369 To  bmakeh5046 knownh5046 to Jacobh3290 his rebellioush6588 acth6588, Even to Israelh3478 his sinh2403b.

9

Nowh4994 hearh8085 thish2088,  aheadsh7218 of the househ1004 of Jacobh3290 And rulersh7101 of the househ1004 of Israelh3478, Who  babhorh8581 justiceh4941 And twisth6140 everythingh3605 that is straighth3477,

10

Who  abuildh1129 Zionh6726 with bloodshedh1818 And Jerusalemh3389 with violenth5767b injusticeh5767b.

11

Her leadersh7218 pronounceh8199  ajudgmenth8199 for a bribeh7810, Her  bpriestsh3548 instructh3384 for a priceh4242 And her prophetsh5030 divineh7080 for moneyh3701. Yet they leanh8172 on the LORDh3068 sayingh559, " cIs not the LORDh3068 in our midsth7130? Calamityh7463a will not comeh935 upon us."

12

Thereforeh3651, on accounth1558 of you  aZionh6726 will be plowedh2790a as a fieldh7704,  bJerusalemh3389 will becomeh1961 a heaph5856 of ruinsh5856, And the  cmountainh2022 of the  1templeh1004 will become highh1116 placesh1116 of a foresth3293a.
