Micah 3:1-3, 9-12

Micah 3:1-3 TPT

Then I said, “Listen, you leaders of the tribes of Jacob, you princes among the people of Israel. Is it not your duty to see that justice prevails? Yet you hate what is good and love what is evil. You skin my people alive, pulling the flesh off their bones. Like butchers, you tear the skin off my people. You break their bones and chop them up like stew meat for the pot. Like wild animals, you rip the flesh off their bones and devour my people.

Micah 3:9-12 TPT

NIV KJV ESV NLT NKJV

Now hear this, you leaders of the tribes of Jacob, you princes of the people of Israel: You hate justice and distort right into wrong. Indeed, you build up Zion and Jerusalem but upon an immoral foundation of murder and malice. Her judges render verdicts for the highest bidder, her priests preach for a price, her prophets prophesy for a fee, and yet they pretend to depend upon YAHWEH. “Isn’t YAHWEH on our side?” they say. “How could any disaster come upon us?” That is why, thanks to you, Zion will return to farmland, Jerusalem to a pile of rubble, and the Temple Mount will be deserted— overgrown with thickets.

Remnant: A Study in Micah

7 Days

Micah’s prophetic ministry called attention to the oppression of the poor, the injustice of leaders, and the unfaithful messages of false prophets. The solution to Judah’s sinfulness is simple: “do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God” (Micah 6:8). Despite their sinfulness, Micah prophesies a time of peace when God will gather a remnant of His people to be ruled by a Shepherd-King born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2-5).
