Micah 2:7-9

New International Version - UK

⁷You descendants of Jacob, should it be said,
‘Does the Lord become^[a] impatient?
Does he do such things?’

‘Do not my words do good
    to the one whose ways are upright?
⁸Lately my people have risen up
    like an enemy.
You strip off the rich robe
    from those who pass by without a care,
    like men returning from battle.
⁹You drive the women of my people
    from their pleasant homes.
You take away my blessing
    from their children for ever.
