14 Pour moi, me voici entre vos mains; traitez-moi comme il vous semblera bon et juste.

15 Seulement sachez que, si vous me faites mourir, vous vous chargez du sang innocent, vous, cette ville et ses habitants; car l’Éternel m’a véritablement envoyé vers vous pour prononcer à vos oreilles toutes ces paroles.

16 Les chefs et tout le peuple dirent aux sacrificateurs et aux prophètes: Cet homme ne mérite point la mort; car c’est au nom de l’Éternel, notre Dieu, qu’il nous a parlé.

17 Et quelques-uns des anciens du pays se levèrent, et dirent à toute l’assemblée du peuple:

18 Michée, de Moréscheth, prophétisait du temps d’Ézéchias, roi de Juda, et il disait à tout le peuple de Juda: Ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées: Sion sera labourée comme un champ, Jérusalem deviendra un monceau de pierres, Et la montagne de la maison une haute forêt.
