Micah 2:6-11
Authorized (King James) Version
6 Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy:
they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
7 O thou that art named the house of Jacob,
is the spirit of the Lord straitened?
are these his doings?
do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
8 Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy:
ye pull off the robe with the garment
from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
9 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses;
from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest:
because it is polluted, it shall destroy you,
even with a sore destruction.
11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie,
saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink;
he shall even be the prophet of this people.
