弥迦书3-先知

弥迦书3章中

¹I said, “Listen, you leaders of Israel!You are supposed to know right from wrong, ²but you are the very oneswho hate good and love evil.You skin my people aliveand tear the flesh from their bones. ³Yes, you eat my people’s flesh, strip off their skin, and break their bones.You chop them uplike meat for the cooking pot. ⁴Then you beg the Lord for help in times of trouble!Do you really expect him to answer?After all the evil you have done, he won’t even look at you!” ⁵This is what the Lord says:“You false prophets are leading my people astray!You promise peace for those who give you food, but you declare war on those who refuse to feed you. ⁶Now the night will close around you, cutting off all your visions.Darkness will cover you, putting an end to your predictions.The sun will set for you prophets, and your day will come to an end. ⁷Then you seers will be put to shame, and you fortune-tellers will be disgraced.And you will cover your facesbecause there is no answer from God.” ⁸But as for me, I am filled with power - with the Spirit of the Lord.I am filled with justice and strengthto boldly declare Israel’s sin and rebellion. ⁹Listen to me, you leaders of Israel!You hate justice and twist all that is right. ¹⁰You are building Jerusalemon a foundation of murder and corruption. ¹¹You rulers make decisions based on bribes;you priests teach God’s laws only for a price;you prophets won’t prophesy unless you are paid.Yet all of you claim to depend on the Lord.“No harm can come to us, ” you say, “for the Lord is here among us.” ¹²Because of you, Mount Zion will be plowed like an open field;Jerusalem will be reduced to ruins!A thicket will grow on the heightswhere the Temple now stands.
