Micah 3:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ But the Spirit of the Lord fills me, to make me powerful.
He helps me to know what is right and fair.
He makes me brave so that I can speak to you, Jacob's people.
I can tell you what you have done wrong.
You are Israel's people,
but you have not obeyed God.^[a]
9 So listen to this, you leaders of Jacob's people.
You are Israel's rulers.
But you never do what is right and fair.
You take what is good.
And you make it seem bad.
¹⁰ You rule Zion city, which is Jerusalem.
But you are cruel, and you kill honest people.^[b]
