  1. Micah 3:7 Lit mustache

The seers will be ashamed(A)
    and the diviners disgraced.(B)
They will all cover(C) their faces(D)
    because there is no answer from God.(E)
But as for me, I am filled with power,
    with the Spirit of the Lord,

to declare to Jacob his transgression,
    to Israel his sin.(F)

    you rulers of Israel,
who despise justice
    and distort all that is right;(G)
