MICAH
- Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest:
- Because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
- If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying,
- I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink;
- He shall even be the prophet of this people.
- I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee;
- I will surely gather the remnant of Israel;
- I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah,
- As the flock in the midst of their fold:
- They shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
- The breaker is come up before them:
- They have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it:
- And their king shall pass before them,
- And the Lord on the head of them.
- And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob,
- And ye princes of the house of Israel;
- Is it not for you to know judgment?
- Who hate the good, and love the evil;
- Who pluck off their skin from off them,
- And their flesh from off their bones;
- Who also eat the flesh of my people,
- And flay their skin from off them;
[ 1143 ]
