Micah / Question
Question source
Micah
Micah says rulers who should know justice instead hate good and love evil. He uses graphic language to accuse them of tearing skin and flesh from the people, like violent butchery (Micah 3:1–3).
1I said, Please hear, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: is it not for you to know justice?
2you who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
3who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
