Micah 2:6-8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ “Do not preach”—thus they preach—
    “one should not preach of such things;
    disgrace will not overtake us.”
⁷ Should this be said, O house of Jacob?
    Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient?
    Are these his doings?
Do not my words do good
    to him who walks uprightly?
⁸ But you rise against my people^[a] as an enemy;
    you strip the robe from the peaceful,^[b]
from those who pass by trustingly
    with no thought of war.
