Micah 3:11 in Context — Micah 3

9 Ouvi agora isto, vós líderes da casa de Jacó, e governantes da casa de Israel, que abominais a justiça, e perverteis tudo o que é justo;

10 Vós edificais a Sião com sangue, e a Jerusalém com injustiça;

11 Seus líderes julgam por suborno, seus sacerdotes ensinam por salário, e seus profetas adivinham por dinheiro; e se apoiam no SENHOR dizendo: Por acaso o SENHOR não está entre nós? Nenhum mal virá sobre nós.

12 Portanto por causa de vós Sião será arada como campo, e Jerusalém se tornará um amontoado de pedras, e o monte do templo como os lugares altos de um bosque.
