Micah 2:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 [a]They that prophesy, Prophesy ye not. [b]They shall not prophesy to them, neither shall they take shame.
7 O thou that art named of the house of Jacob, is the Spirit of the Lord shortened? [c]are these his works? are not my works good unto him [d]that walketh uprightly?
8 But he that was [e]yesterday my people, is risen up on the other side, as against an enemy: they spoil the [f]beautiful garment from them that pass by peaceably, as though they returned from the war.
