Micah 3:10

New American Bible - revised edition

Who build up Zion with bloodshed, and Jerusalem with wickedness!

See the chapter Copy

and say: Thus says the Lord God: O city that sheds blood within itself so that its time has come, that has made idols for its own defilement:

The faithful have vanished from the earth, no mortal is just! They all lie in wait to shed blood, each one ensnares the other.

Its officials within it are roaring lions; Its judges are desert wolves that have no bones to gnaw by morning.

And the whole people said in reply, “His blood be upon us and upon our children.”

nor do you consider that it is better for you that one man should die instead of the people, so that the whole nation may not perish.”
