Miquéias 3— comparação

1Eu disse,

2Vocês que odeiam o bem,

3que também comem a carne do meu povo,

4Então eles clamarão ao SENHOR,

5Assim diz o SENHOR a respeito dos profetas que desviam o meu povo — para aqueles que alimentam os seus dentes, eles proclamam: “Paz!”; e contra quem não provê para as suas bocas, preparam guerra:

6“Portanto, a noite está sobre vocês, sem visão,

7Os videntes ficarão envergonhados,

8Mas, quanto a mim, estou cheio de poder pelo Espírito do SENHOR,

9Por favor, ouçam isto, vocês, chefes da casa de Jacó,

10que edificam Sião com sangue,

11Seus líderes julgam por suborno,

12Portanto, por causa de vocês, Sião será arada como um campo,

1I said, “Please listen, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: Isn’t it for you to know justice?

2You who hate the good, and love the evil; who tear off their skin, and their flesh from off their bones;

3who also eat the flesh of my people, and peel their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as meat within the cauldron.

4Then they will cry to Yahweh, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil.”

5Yahweh says concerning the prophets who lead my people astray—for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, “Peace!” and whoever doesn’t provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:

6“Therefore night is over you, with no vision, and it is dark to you, that you may not divine; and the sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will be black over them.

7The seers shall be disappointed, and the diviners confounded. Yes, they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer from God.”

8But as for me, I am full of power by Yahweh’s Spirit, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his disobedience, and to Israel his sin.

9Please listen to this, you heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice, and pervert all equity,

10who build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.

11Her leaders judge for bribes, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets of it tell fortunes for money; yet they lean on Yahweh, and say, “Isn’t Yahweh among us? No disaster will come on us.”

12Therefore Zion for your sake will be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps of rubble, and the mountain of the temple like the high places of a forest.
