Miquéias 6:12

Pois os ricos da cidade estão cheios de violência, e os seus habitantes falam mentiras, e a lingua deles é enganosa na sua boca.
Scatter
The meaning of "scatter" in the Bible is relatively literal, but it is used in regard to spiritual things, not natural ones. So to "scatter" a group of people represents breaking up a system of ideas represented by that group and thus to weaken and ultimately destroy it.
