Micah 3

KJV

1  And I said,⁵⁵⁹ Hear,⁸⁰⁸⁵ I pray you,⁴⁹⁹⁴ O heads⁷²¹⁸ of Jacob,³²⁹⁰ and ye princes⁷¹⁰¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ Is it not³⁸⁰⁸ for you to know^{3045 853} judgment?⁴⁹⁴¹

2  Who hate⁸¹³⁰ the good,²⁸⁹⁶ and love¹⁵⁷ the evil;⁷⁴⁵¹ who pluck off¹⁴⁹⁷ their skin⁵⁷⁸⁵ from off^{4480 5921} them, and their flesh⁷⁶⁰⁷ from off^{4480 5921} their bones;⁶¹⁰⁶

3  Who⁸³⁴ also eat³⁹⁸ the flesh⁷⁶⁰⁷ of my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and flay⁶⁵⁸⁴ their skin⁵⁷⁸⁵ from off^{4480 5921} them; and they break⁶⁴⁷⁶ their bones,⁶¹⁰⁶ and chop them in pieces,⁶⁵⁶⁶ as⁸³⁴ for the pot,⁵⁵¹⁸ and as flesh¹³²⁰ within⁸⁴³² the caldron.⁷⁰³⁷

4  Then²²⁷ shall they cry²¹⁹⁹ unto⁴¹³ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ but he will not³⁸⁰⁸ hear⁶⁰³⁰ them: he will even hide⁵⁶⁴¹ his face⁶⁴⁴⁰ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ them at that¹⁹³¹ time,⁶²⁵⁶ as⁸³⁴ they have behaved themselves ill⁷⁴⁸⁹ in their doings.⁴⁶¹¹

5  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ concerning⁵⁹²¹ the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ that make ⁸⁵³ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ err,⁸⁵⁸² that bite⁵³⁹¹ with their teeth,⁸¹²⁷ and cry,⁷¹²¹ Peace;⁷⁹⁶⁵ and he that⁸³⁴ putteth⁵⁴¹⁴ not³⁸⁰⁸ into⁵⁹²¹ their mouths,⁶³¹⁰ they even prepare⁶⁹⁴² war⁴⁴²¹ against⁵⁹²¹ him.

6  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ night³⁹¹⁵ shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision;^{4480 2377} and it shall be dark²⁸²¹ unto you, that ye shall not divine;^{4480 7080} and the sun⁸¹²¹ shall go down⁹³⁵ over⁵⁹²¹ the prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ and the day³¹¹⁷ shall be dark⁶⁹³⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ them.

7  Then shall the seers²³⁷⁴ be ashamed,⁹⁵⁴ and the diviners⁷⁰⁸⁰ confounded:²⁶⁵⁹ yea, they shall all³⁶⁰⁵ cover^{5844 5921} their lips;⁸²²² for³⁵⁸⁸ there is no³⁶⁹ answer⁴⁶¹⁷ of God.⁴³⁰

8  But truly¹⁹⁹ I⁵⁹⁵ am full⁴³⁹⁰ of power³⁵⁸¹ by⁸⁵⁴ the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and of judgment,⁴⁹⁴¹ and of might,¹³⁶⁹ to declare⁵⁰⁴⁶ unto Jacob³²⁹⁰ his transgression,⁶⁵⁸⁸ and to Israel³⁴⁷⁸ his sin.²⁴⁰³

9  Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ this,²⁰⁶³ I pray you,⁴⁹⁹⁴ ye heads⁷²¹⁸ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Jacob,³²⁹⁰ and princes⁷¹⁰¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that abhor⁸⁵⁸¹ judgment,⁴⁹⁴¹ and pervert⁶¹⁴⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ equity.³⁴⁷⁷

10  They build up¹¹²⁹ Zion⁶⁷²⁶ with blood,¹⁸¹⁸ and Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ with iniquity.⁵⁷⁶⁶

11  The heads⁷²¹⁸ thereof judge⁸¹⁹⁹ for reward,⁷⁸¹⁰ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ thereof teach³³⁸⁴ for hire,⁴²⁴² and the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ thereof divine⁷⁰⁸⁰ for money:³⁷⁰¹ yet will they lean⁸¹⁷² upon⁵⁹²¹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and say,⁵⁵⁹ Is not³⁸⁰⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ among⁷¹³⁰ us? none³⁸⁰⁸ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ can come⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ us.

12  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ shall Zion⁶⁷²⁶ for your sake¹⁵⁵⁸ be plowed²⁷⁹⁰ as a field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ shall become¹⁹⁶¹ heaps,⁵⁸⁵⁶ and the mountain²⁰²² of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ as the high places¹¹¹⁶ of the forest.³²⁹³

1 καὶ ἐρεῖ ἀκούσατε δὴ ταῦτα αἱ ἀρχαὶ οἴκου Ιακωβ καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι οἴκου Ισραηλ οὐχ ὑμῖν ἐστιν τοῦ γνῶναι τὸ κρίμα

2 οἱ μισοῦντες τὰ καλὰ καὶ ζητοῦντες τὰ πονηρά ἁρπάζοντες τὰ δέρματα αὐτῶν ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς σάρκας αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῶν ὀστέων αὐτῶν

3 ὃν τρόπον κατέφαγον τὰς σάρκας τοῦ λαοῦ μου καὶ τὰ δέρματα αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῶν ὀστέων αὐτῶν ἐξέδειραν καὶ τὰ ὀστέα αὐτῶν συνέθλασαν καὶ ἐμέλισαν ὡς σάρκας εἰς λέβητα καὶ ὡς κρέα εἰς χύτραν

4 οὕτως κεκράξονται πρὸς κύριον καὶ οὐκ εἰσακούσεται αὐτῶν καὶ ἀποστρέψει τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀνθ᾽ ὧν ἐπονηρεύσαντο ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασιν αὐτῶν ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς

5 τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐπὶ τοὺς προφήτας τοὺς πλανῶντας τὸν λαόν μου τοὺς δάκνοντας ἐν τοῖς ὀδοῦσιν αὐτῶν καὶ κηρύσσοντας ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν εἰρήνην καὶ οὐκ ἐδόθη εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν ἤγειραν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν πόλεμον

6 διὰ τοῦτο νὺξ ὑμῖν ἔσται ἐξ ὁράσεως καὶ σκοτία ὑμῖν ἔσται ἐκ μαντείας καὶ δύσεται ὁ ἥλιος ἐπὶ τοὺς προφήτας καὶ συσκοτάσει ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς ἡ ἡμέρα

7 καὶ καταισχυνθήσονται οἱ ὁρῶντες τὰ ἐνύπνια καὶ καταγελασθήσονται οἱ μάντεις καὶ καταλαλήσουσιν κατ᾽ αὐτῶν πάντες αὐτοί διότι οὐκ ἔσται ὁ εἰσακούων αὐτῶν

8 ἐὰν μὴ ἐγὼ ἐμπλήσω ἰσχὺν ἐν πνεύματι κυρίου καὶ κρίματος καὶ δυναστείας τοῦ ἀπαγγεῖλαι τῷ Ιακωβ ἀσεβείας αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ Ισραηλ ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ

9 ἀκούσατε δὴ ταῦτα οἱ ἡγούμενοι οἴκου Ιακωβ καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι οἴκου Ισραηλ οἱ βδελυσσόμενοι κρίμα καὶ πάντα τὰ ὀρθὰ διαστρέφοντες

10 οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες Σιων ἐν αἵμασιν καὶ Ιερουσαλημ ἐν ἀδικίαις

11 οἱ ἡγούμενοι αὐτῆς μετὰ δώρων ἔκρινον καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτῆς μετὰ μισθοῦ ἀπεκρίνοντο καὶ οἱ προφῆται αὐτῆς μετὰ ἀργυρίου ἐμαντεύοντο καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον ἐπανεπαύοντο λέγοντες οὐχὶ κύριος ἐν ἡμῖν ἐστιν οὐ μὴ ἐπέλθῃ ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς κακά

12 διὰ τοῦτο δι᾽ ὑμᾶς Σιων ὡς ἀγρὸς ἀροτριαθήσεται καὶ Ιερουσαλημ ὡς ὀπωροφυλάκιον ἔσται καὶ τὸ ὄρος τοῦ οἴκου ὡς ἄλσος δρυμοῦ

Vul

1 [Et dixi: Audite, princeps Jacob,
et duces domus Israël:
numquid non vestrum est scire judicium,

2 qui odio habetis bonum, et diligitis malum;
qui violenter tollitis pelles eorum desuper eis,
et carnem eorum desuper ossibus eorum;

3 qui comederunt carnem populi mei,
et pellem eorum desuper excoriaverunt,
et ossa eorum confregerunt,
et conciderunt sicut in lebete,
et quasi carnem in medio ollæ?

4 Tunc clamabunt ad Dominum, et non exaudiet eos,
et abscondet faciem suam ab eis in tempore illo,
sicut nequiter egerunt in adinventionibus suis.

5 Hæc dicit Dominus super prophetas,
qui seducunt populum meum:
qui mordent dentibus suis,
et prædicant pacem;
et si quis non dederit in ore eorum quippiam,
sanctificant super eum prælium.

6 Propterea nox vobis pro visione erit,
et tenebræ vobis pro divinatione;
et occumbet sol super prophetas,
et obtenebrabitur super eos dies.

7 Et confundentur qui vident visiones,
et confundentur divini;
et operient omnes vultos suos,
quia non est responsum Dei.

8 Verumtamen ego repletus sum fortitudine spiritus Domini,
judicio, et virtute,
ut annuntiem Jacob scelus suum,
et Israël peccatum suum.

9 Audite hoc, principes domus Jacob,
et judices domus Israël,
qui abominamini judicium,
et omnia recta pervertitis:

10 qui ædificatis Sion in sanguinibus,
et Jerusalem in iniquitate.

11 Principes ejus in muneribus judicabant,
et sacerdotes ejus in mercede docebant,
et prophetæ ejus in pecunia divinabant:
et super Dominum requiescebant, dicentes:
Numquid non Dominus in medio nostrum?
non venient super nos mala.

12 Propter hoc, causa vestri, Sion quasi ager arabitur,
et Jerusalem quasi acervus lapidum erit,
et mons templi in excelsa silvarum.]
