| 1 | I said, Please hear, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: is it not for you to know justice? | Mic 3:9 Mic 3:10 Isa 1:10 Jer 13:15-18 Jer 22:2 Jer 22:3 Hos 5:1 Am 4:1 |
| 2 | you who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; | 1Ki 21:20 1Ki 22:6-8 Am 5:10-14 Lk 19:14 Jn 7:7 Jn 15:18 Jn 15:19 Jn 15:23 Jn 15:24 Ac 7:51 Ac 7:52 Ro 12:9 2Ti 3:3 |
| 3 | who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron. | Ps 14:4 |
| 4 | Then shall they cry to Yahweh, but he will not answer them; yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, according as they have worked evil in their doings. | Mic 2:3 Mic 2:4 Jer 5:31 |
| 5 | Thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who make my people to err; who bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and whoever doesn`t put into their mouths, they even prepare war against him: | Mic 3:11 Isa 9:15 Isa 9:16 Jer 14:14 Jer 14:15 Jer 23:9-17 Jer 23:27-17 Jer 23:32-17 Jer 28:15-17 Jer 29:21-23 Ezk 13:10-16 Ezk 22:25-29 Mal 2:8 Mt 15:14 |
| 6 | Therefore it shall be night to you, that you shall have no vision; and it shall be dark to you, that you shall not divine; and the sun shall go down on the prophets, and the day shall be black over them. | Ps 74:9 Isa 8:20-22 Jer 13:16 Ezk 13:22 Ezk 13:23 Zc 13:2-4 |

| 8 | But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Yahweh, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his disobedience, and to Israel his sin. | Jb 32:18 Isa 11:2 Isa 11:3 Isa 58:1 Jer 1:18 Jer 6:11 Jer 15:19-21 Jer 20:9 Ezk 3:14 Mt 7:29 Mk 3:17 Ac 4:8-12 Ac 4:19-12 Ac 4:20-12 Ac 7:54-57 Ac 13:9-12 Ac 18:5 Ac 18:6 Ac 18:9-11 1Co 2:4 1Co 2:12 1Co 2:13 |
| 9 | Please hear this you heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice, and pervert all equity. | Mic 3:1 Ex 3:16 Hos 5:1 |
| 10 | They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. | Jer 22:13-17 Ezk 22:25-28 Hab 2:9-12 Zep 3:3 Mt 27:25 Jn 11:50 |
| 11 | The heads of it judge for reward, and the priests of it teach for hire, and the prophets of it divine for money: yet they lean on Yahweh, and say, Is not Yahweh in the midst of us? no evil shall come on us. | Mic 7:3 Nm 16:15 1Sa 8:3 1Sa 12:3 1Sa 12:4 Isa 1:23 Ezk 22:12 Ezk 22:27 Hos 4:18 Zep 3:3 |
| 12 | 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 a forest. | Mic 1:6 Ps 79:1 Ps 107:34 Jer 26:18 Mt 24:2 Ac 6:13 Ac 6:14 |
