Micah 3:9 - The Message

The leaders of Jacob and
   the leaders of Israel are
Leaders contemptuous of justice,
   who twist and distort right living,
Leaders who build Zion by killing people,
   who expand Jerusalem by committing crimes.
Judges sell verdicts to the highest bidder,
   priests mass-market their teaching,
   prophets preach for high fees,
All the while posturing and pretending
   dependence on God:
"We’ve got God on our side.
   He’ll protect us from disaster."
Because of people like you,
   Zion will be turned back into farmland,
Jerusalem end up as a pile of rubble,
   and instead of the Temple on the mountain,
   a few scraggly scrub pines.
