Micah 3:10

Contemporary English Version 1995

You make cruelty and murder a way of life in Jerusalem.

See the chapter Copy

Everyone answered, “We and our own families will take the blame for his death!”

Don't you know it is better for one person to die for the people than for the whole nation to be destroyed?”

Its officials are roaring lions, its judges are wolves; in the evening they attack, by morning nothing is left.

No one is loyal to God; no one does right. Everyone is brutal and eager to deceive everyone else.

and tell them I am saying: Jerusalem, you have murdered many of your own people and have worshiped idols. You will soon be punished!
