弥迦书 第 3 章
1我说：雅各的首领， 以色列家的官长啊，你们要听！ 你们不当知道公平吗？
1And 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?
2你们恶善好恶， 从人身上剥皮， 从人骨头上剔肉，
2Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
3吃我民的肉， 剥他们的皮， 打折他们的骨头， 分成块子像要下锅， 又像釜中的肉。
3Who 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.
4到了遭灾的时候， 这些人必哀求耶和华， 他却不应允他们。 那时他必照他们所行的恶事向他们掩面。
4Then 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.
5论到使我民走差路的先知— 他们牙齿有所嚼的， 他们就呼喊说：平安了！ 凡不供给他们吃的， 他们就预备攻击他— 耶和华如此说：
5Thus 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.
6你们必遭遇黑夜，以致不见异象； 又必遭遇幽暗，以致不能占卜。 日头必向你们沉落， 白昼变为黑暗。
6Therefore 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.
7先见必抱愧， 占卜的必蒙羞， 都必捂着嘴唇， 因为神不应允他们。
7Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.
8至于我，我借耶和华的灵， 满有力量、公平、才能， 可以向雅各说明他的过犯， 向以色列指出他的罪恶。
8But 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.
9雅各家的首领、以色列家的官长啊， 当听我的话！ 你们厌恶公平， 在一切事上屈枉正直；
9Hear 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.
