Micah Is an Honest Prophet of God

But I am filled with power,
    with the Spirit of the Lord,
    and with justice and strength,
to tell the people of Jacob how they have turned against God,
    and the people of Israel how they have sinned.
Leaders of Jacob and rulers of Israel,
    listen to me,
you who hate fairness
    and twist what is right.
10 You build Jerusalem by murdering people;
    you build it with evil.

But as for me, I am filled with power,
    with the Spirit of the Lord,
    and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob his transgression,
    to Israel his sin.(A)

Hear this, you leaders of Jacob,
    you rulers of Israel,
who despise justice
    and distort all that is right;(B)
10 who build(C) Zion with bloodshed,(D)
    and Jerusalem with wickedness.(E)

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.

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.

10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
