Mic 3:3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron. Ver. 3. Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skins, &c. ] He still proceeds in the allegory, the better to argue and aggravate their extreme cruelty.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 3:1-4

Outrages committed by civil rulers, Micah 3:1-4. The denunciation in Micah 3:1-4, is addressed to the nobles, called “heads” and “princes” or “magistrates” (compare Isaiah 1:10).
