Micah 2:6-8

The Voice

⁶ They say,
    “Don’t rattle on like this,”
But those same people preach falsehood themselves:
    “Calamity is not coming in our direction.”
⁷ Should it be said to the people of Jacob,
    “Has the Spirit of Eternal lost His patience with us?
Is this how He works?”

Eternal One: When I speak, don’t good things happen
        to the ones who uprightly follow My fair path?
⁸     But recently My people became their own enemy.
        You strip the mantles off the clothes
    Of those just passing through, those who thought themselves safe,
        those who are opposed to war.
