When money speaks louder than God
Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets Who make my people stray; Who chant “Peace” While they chew with their teeth, But who prepare war against him Who puts nothing into their mouths: (Micah 3:5) From the time of Micah, these “prophets” only had one interest: money.
