Micah 3:9 in Context — Micah 3

7 E os videntes se envergonharão, e os adivinhos serão humilhados; todos cobrirão o lábio, porque não haverá resposta de Deus.

8 Porém eu estou cheio do poder do Espírito do SENHOR, e de juízo, e de força, para anunciar a Jacó sua transgressão, e a Israel seu pecado.

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.
