New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Micah 2
12 "I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together like sheep in the fold; Like a flock in the midst of its pasture They will be noisy with men.
13 "The breaker goes up before them; They break out, pass through the gate and go out by it. So their king goes on before them, And the Lord at their head."
Micah 3
1 And I said, "Hear now, heads of Jacob And rulers of the house of Israel. Is it not for you to know justice?
2 "You who hate good and love evil, Who tear off their skin from them And their flesh from their bones,
3 Who eat the flesh of my people, Strip off their skin from them, Break their bones And chop them up as for the pot And as meat in a kettle."
4 Then they will cry out to the Lord, But He will not answer them. Instead, He will hide His face from them at that time Because they have practiced evil deeds.
5 Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; When they have something to bite with their teeth, They cry, "Peace," But against him who puts nothing in their mouths They declare holy war.
6 Therefore it will be night for you-without vision, And darkness for you-without divination. The sun will go down on the prophets, And the day will become dark over them.
7 The seers will be ashamed And the diviners will be embarrassed. Indeed, they will all cover their mouths Because there is no answer from God.
8 On the other hand I am filled with power- With the Spirit of the Lord- And with justice and courage To make known to Jacob his rebellious act, Even to Israel his sin.
9 Now hear this, heads of the house of Jacob And rulers of the house of Israel, Who abhor justice And twist everything that is straight,
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
