Micah 2:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷     (Should this be said, house of Jacob?)
        “Is the Lord’s patience cut short? Are these his deeds?”
            Don’t my words help the one who behaves righteously?
⁸ But yesterday, my people, the Lord rose up as an enemy.^[a]
        You strip off the glorious clothes^[b]
            from trusting passersby, those who reject war.
⁹ You drive out the women of my people,
        each from her cherished house;
        from their young children
            you take away my splendor forever.
