Go, and gather the elders of Yisra'el together, and tell them, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Avraham, of Yitzchak, and of Ya`akov, has appeared to me, saying, *I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt;
Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards. They don't judge the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
They are grew fat, they shine: yes, they overpass in deeds of wickedness; they don't plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and the right of the needy they don't judge.
*Listen to this, you Kohanim! Listen, house of Yisra'el, and give ear, house of the king! For the judgment is against you; for you have been a snare at Mitzpah, and a net spread on Tavor.
The word of the LORD that came to Mikhah the Morashti in the days of Yotam, Achaz, and Chizkiyahu, kings of Yehudah, which he saw concerning Shomron and Yerushalayim.
