舊約 -- 彌迦書(Micah) -- 第3章
3：1 我說，雅各的首領，以色列家的官長阿，你們要聽。你們不當知道公平嗎。
And I said， Hear， I pray you， O heads of Jacob， and ye princes of the house of Israel； Is it not for you to know judgment？
3：2 你們惡善好惡。從人身上剝皮，從人骨頭上剔肉。
Who hate the good， and love the evil； who pluck off their skin from off them， and their flesh from off their bones；
3：3 吃我民的肉，剝他們的皮，打折他們的骨頭，分成塊子像要下鍋，又像釜中的肉。
Who also eat the flesh of my people， and flay their skin from off them； and they break their bones， and chop them in pieces， as for the pot， and as flesh within the caldron.
3：4 到了遭災的時候，這些人必哀求耶和華，他卻不應允他們。那時他必照他們所行的惡事，向他們掩面。
Then shall they cry unto the LORD， but he will not hear them： he will even hide his face from them at that time， as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
3：5 論到使我民走差路的先知，他們牙齒有所嚼的，他們就呼喊說，平安了。凡不供給他們吃的，他們就預備攻擊他（預備攻擊他或作說必遭遇刀兵）耶和華如此說，Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err， that bite with their teeth， and cry， Peace； and he that putteth not into their mouths， they even prepare war against him.
3：6 你們必遭遇黑夜，以致不見異象。又必遭遇幽暗，以致不能占卜。日頭必向你們沉落，白晝變為黑暗。
Therefore night shall be unto you， that ye shall not have a vision； and it shall be dark unto you， that ye shall not divine； and the sun shall go down over the prophets， and the day shall be dark over them.
3：7 先見必抱愧，占卜的必蒙羞，都必捂著嘴唇，因為神不應允他們。
Then shall the seers be ashamed， and the diviners confounded： yea， they shall all cover their lips； for there is no answer of God.
3：8 至于我，我藉耶和華的靈，滿有力量公平才能，可以向雅各說明他的過犯，向以色列指出他的罪惡。
But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD， and of judgment， and of might， to declare unto Jacob his transgression， and to Israel his sin.
3：9 雅各家的首領，以色列家的官長阿，當聽我的話。你們厭惡公平，在一切事上屈枉正直。
Hear this， I pray you， ye heads of the house of Jacob， and princes of the house of Israel， that abhor judgment， and pervert all equity.
3：10 以人血建立錫安，以罪孽建造耶路撒冷。
They build up Zion with blood， and Jerusalem with iniquity.
3：11 首領為賄賂行審判，祭司為雇價施訓誨，先知為銀錢行占卜。他們卻倚賴耶和華，說，耶和華不是在我們中間嗎。災禍必不臨到我們。
The heads thereof judge for reward， and the priests thereof teach for hire， and the prophets thereof divine for money： yet will they lean upon the LORD， and say， Is not the LORD among us？ none evil can come upon us.
3：12 所以因你們的緣故，錫安必被耕種像一塊田，耶路撒冷必變為亂堆，這殿的山必像叢林的高處。
Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field， and Jerusalem shall become heaps， and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
