^ Mi 3.2: Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;

^ Mi 3.4: Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.

^ Mi 3.10: They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.

^ Mi 3.12: Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed [as] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
