Micah 3:9-12

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.
