Micah 3:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 But they hate the good, and love the evil: [a]they pluck off their skins from them, and their flesh from their bones.
3 And they eat also the flesh of my people, and flay off their skin from them, and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
4 Then [b]shall they cry unto the Lord, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, because they have done wickedly in their works.
