Micah 2:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ O house of Jacob, should it be said:
    “Has the Lord’s patience been exhausted?
    Does he do such things?
His words only prophesy good
    to those who are upright.”
⁸ But now you have risen up
    as an enemy to my people.
You strip the cloaks from travelers
    who pass by peacefully,
    or from soldiers returning from battle.
⁹ The women of my people you drive forth
    from their pleasant homes
and deprive their children
    of my glory forever,
