Micah 3:7 in context

Micah 3:4–10

4

Then they will cry to the LORD,

but he will not answer them.

Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time,

because they made their deeds evil.”

5

The LORD says concerning the prophets who lead my people astray—for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, “Peace!” and whoever doesn’t provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:

6

“Therefore night is over you, with no vision,

and it is dark to you, that you may not divine;

and the sun will go down on the prophets,

and the day will be black over them.

7
Selected verse

The seers shall be disappointed,

and the diviners confounded.

Yes, they shall all cover their lips,

for there is no answer from God.”

8

But as for me, I am full of power by the LORD’s Spirit,

and of judgment, and of might,

to declare to Jacob his disobedience,

and to Israel his sin.

9

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,

10

who build up Zion with blood,

and Jerusalem with iniquity.
