Micah 3:1-4, 11

Then I said, “Listen, leaders of the people of Jacob; listen, you rulers of the nation of Israel. You should know how to decide cases fairly, but you hate good and love evil. You skin my people alive and tear the flesh off their bones. You eat my people’s flesh and skin them and break their bones; you chop them up like meat for the pot, like meat in a cooking pan. They will cry to the LORD, but he won’t answer them. At that time he will hide his face from them, because what they have done is evil.”

Its judges take money to decide who wins in court. Its priests only teach for pay, and its prophets only look into the future when they get paid. But they lean on the LORD and say, “The LORD is here with us, so nothing bad will happen to us.”
