Micah 3:12

Therefore Zion for your sake will be plowed like a field,

and Jerusalem will become heaps of rubble,

and the mountain of the temple like the high places of a forest.

THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Micah 3:12 in context

Micah 3:9–12

Please listen to this, you heads of the house of Jacob,

and rulers of the house of Israel,

who abhor justice,

and pervert all equity,

who build up Zion with blood,

and Jerusalem with iniquity.

Her leaders judge for bribes,

and her priests teach for a price,

and her prophets tell fortunes for money;

yet they lean on the LORD, and say,

“Isn’t the LORD among us?

No disaster will come on us.”

Selected verse

Therefore Zion for your sake will be plowed like a field,

and Jerusalem will become heaps of rubble,

and the mountain of the temple like the high places of a forest.
