The unheard cry (Mic 3:4-3:4)

“Then they will cry

To Yahweh.

But he will not

Answer them.

He will hide his face

From them

At that time.

Because they have acted

Wickedly.”

When these same leaders would cry to Yahweh, he was not going to answer them.  Yahweh hid his face from them, because of their wicked activities.
