Should you not know justice?

Micah 3:1-12
Listen you leaders of Jacob, you rulers  of the house of Israel. Should you not know justice, you hate good and love evil; who tear the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones.
As for the prophets who lead my people astray, if one feeds them, they proclaim 'peace'; if he does not, they prepare to wage war against him.
But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the Lord, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, to Israel his sin.
Zion will plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, the temple hill a mound overgrown with thickets(灌叢).
They fleece the people are meant literally. Rulers, priests and prophets, there is nothing to choose between them - all have their price. They will bring Jerusalem to ruin.
Why?
Leader and ruler of the house of Israel should know justice, but they didn't.
Prophets lead God's people astray so the Lord wrapped against them.
God is filled with the justice and might to declare transgression of Jacob and sins of Israel.
God is love but God is justice either, so fear the Lord is the way to live.
How?
God give me the power and with the Spirit of the Lord and let me show the love and justice to others!
