Bible. Micah
33:003:003 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from
off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces,
as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
33:003:004 Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them:
he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they
have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
33:003:005 Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my
people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he
that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war
against him.
33:003:006 Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a
vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not
divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the
day shall be dark over them.
33:003:007 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded:
yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer
of God.
33:003:008 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of
judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his
transgression, and to Israel his sin.
33:003:009 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and
princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and
pervert all equity.
33:003:010 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
33:003:011 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof
teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet
will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among
us? none evil can come upon us.
33:003:012 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and
Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as
the high places of the forest.
33:004:001 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain
of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of
the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and
people shall flow unto it.
33:004:002 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up
to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of
Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in
his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of
the LORD from Jerusalem.
33:004:003 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong
nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into
plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall
not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn
war any more.
