Micah 3:
1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?
2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
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.
Pastor Allen's commentary from the Sunday sermon on these verses:
The Prophet speaks to his generation and holds up a plumblne for God's people to measure themselves by. The prophet has no coercive power; he is a moral voice. When the king repents (at the word of the prophet), the people benefit.
