Micah 3 - The Leadership is Responsible

Micah turns his attention to the corrupt leadership. It is your responsibility to know true justice, he tells them. Instead of justice, you are full of bribery and deceipt, and you take advantage of those who need justice the most. The corruption includes all levels of leadership, the false prophets who promise good fortunes in return for donations, and the priests who teach "torah" for a fee. It is because of this corrupt leadership that Jerusalem will fall.
