MICAH
- That abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.
- They build up Zion with blood,
- And Jerusalem with iniquity.
- The heads thereof judge for reward,
- And the priests thereof teach for hire,
- And the prophets thereof divine for money:
- Yet will they lean upon the Lord, and say,
- Is not the Lord among us?
- None evil can come upon us.
- Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field,
- And Jerusalem shall become heaps,
- And the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
- But in the last days it shall come to pass,
- That the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains,
- And it shall be exalted above the hills;
- And people shall flow unto it.
- And many nations shall come, and say,
- Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
- And to the house of the God of Jacob;
- And he will teach us of his ways,
- And we will walk in his paths:
- For the law shall go forth of Zion,
- And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
- And he shall judge among many people,
