Micah 3
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | And I said: Hear, O ye princes of Jacob, and ye chiefs of the house of Israel: Is it not your part to know judgment, | Et dixi: Audite, princeps Iacob, et duces domus Israël: numquid non vestrum est scire iudicium, |
| 2 | You that hate good, and love evil: that violently pluck off their skins from them, and their flesh from their bones? | qui odio habetis bonum, et diligitis malum; qui violenter tollitis pelles eorum desuper eis, et carnem eorum desuper ossibus eorum; |
| 3 | Who have eaten the flesh of my people, and have flayed their skin from off them: and have broken, and chopped their bones as for the kettle, and as flesh in the midst of the pot. | qui comederunt carnem populi mei, et pellem eorum desuper excoriaverunt, et ossa eorum confregerunt, et conciderunt sicut in lebete, et quasi carnem in medio ollae? |
| 4 | Then shall they cry to the Lord, and he will not hear them: and he will hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved wickedly in their devices. | Tunc clamabunt ad Dominum, et non exaudiet eos, et abscondet faciem suam ab eis in tempore illo, sicut nequiter egerunt in adinventionibus suis. |
| 5 | Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err: that bite with their teeth, and preach peace: and if a man give not something into their mouth, they prepare war against him. | Haec dicit Dominus super prophetas, qui seducunt populum meum: qui mordent dentibus suis, et praedicant pacem; et si quis non dederit in ore eorum quippiam, sanctificant super eum praelium. |
| 6 | Therefore night shall be to you instead of vision, and darkness to you instead of divination; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be darkened over them. | Propterea nox vobis pro visione erit, et tenebrae vobis pro divinatione; et occumbet sol super prophetas, et obtenebrabitur super eos dies. |
| 7 | And they shall be confounded that see visions, and the diviners shall be confounded: and they shall all cover their faces, because there is no answer of God. | Et confundentur qui vident visiones, et confundentur divini; et operient omnes vultos suos, quia non est responsum Dei. |
| 8 | But yet I am filled with the strength of the spirit of the Lord, with judgment, and power: to declare unto Jacob his wickedness, and to Israel his sin. | Verumtamen ego repletus sum fortitudine spiritus Domini, iudicio, et virtute, ut annuntiem Iacob scelus suum, et Israël peccatum suum. |
| 9 | Hear this, ye princes of the house of Jacob, and ye judges of the house of Israel: you that abhor judgment, and pervert all that is right. | Audite hoc, principes domus Iacob, et iudices domus Israël, qui abominamini iudicium, et omnia recta pervertitis: |
| 10 | You that build up Sion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. | qui aedificatis Sion in sanguinibus, et Ierusalem in iniquitate. |
| 11 | Her princes have judged for bribes, and her priests have taught for hire, and her prophets divined for money: and they leaned upon the Lord, saying: Is not the Lord in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us. | Principes eius in muneribus iudicabant, et sacerdotes eius in mercede docebant, et prophetae eius in pecunia divinabant: et super Dominum requiescebant, dicentes: Numquid non Dominus in medio nostrum? non venient super nos mala. |
| 12 | Therefore, because of you, Sion shall be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall be as a heap of stones, and the mountain of the temple as the high places of the forests. | Propter hoc, causa vestri, Sion quasi ager arabitur, et Ierusalem quasi acervus lapidum erit, et mons templi in excelsa silvarum. |
