Micah 2:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ Should this be said, O house of Jacob?
    Is the patience^[a] of Yahweh shortened?
    Are these his deeds?
Are my words not pleasing
    to him who walks upright?
⁸ But recently^[b] my people have risen up as an enemy;
    from before the cloak you strip off the robe
from those passing by in confidence,
    returning from war.
⁹ You have driven out the women of my people
    from the houses of their^[c] pleasure.
From their^[d] children you have taken away
    my glory forever.
