And I said, “Hear now, heads of Jacob And rulers of the house of Israel. Is it not for you to know and administer justice? “You who hate good and love evil, Who tear the skin off my people And their flesh from their bones; You who eat the flesh of my people, Strip off their skin from them, Break their bones And chop them in pieces as for the pot, Like meat in a kettle.”
Read Micah 3

Now hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob And rulers of the house of Israel, Who hate and reject justice And twist everything that is straight, Who build Zion with blood [and extortion and murder] And Jerusalem with violent injustice. Her leaders pronounce judgment for a bribe, Her priests teach for a fee, And her prophets foretell for money; Yet they lean on the LORD, saying, “Is not the LORD among us? No tragedy or distress will come on us.” [Is 1:10-15] Therefore, on account of you Zion shall be plowed like a field, Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins, And the mountain of the house [of the LORD] shall become like a densely wooded hill. [Jer 26:17-19]
