Micah 2:6-11
Amplified Bible
Micah 2:6-11
Amplified Bible
6
‘Do not speak out,’ so they speak out.
But if they do not speak out concerning these things,
Reproaches will not be turned back.
7
“Is it being said, O house of Jacob:
‘Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient?
Or are these [prophesied judgments] His doings?’
Do not My words do good
To the one walking uprightly?
8
“But lately My people have stood up as an enemy [and have made Me their antagonist].
You strip the ornaments off the garment
Of those unsuspecting passers-by,
Like those returned from war.
9
“You evict the women (widows) of My people,
Each one from her pleasant house;
From her [young, fatherless] children you take away My splendor and blessing forever [by putting them among the pagans, away from Me].
10
“Arise and depart [because the captivity is inevitable],
For this [land] is not the place of rest
Because of the defilement that brings destruction,
A painful and terrible destruction.
11
“If a man walking in a false spirit [spouting deception]
Should lie and say,
‘I will prophesy to you [O Israel] of wine and liquor (greed, sensual pleasure),’
He would be the acceptable spokesman of this people.(A)

New International Version
Micah 2:6-11
New International Version
False Prophets
6 “Do not prophesy,” their prophets say.
“Do not prophesy about these things;
disgrace(A) will not overtake us.(B)”
7 You descendants of Jacob, should it be said,
“Does the Lord become[a] impatient?
Does he do such things?”
“Do not my words do good(C)
to the one whose ways are upright?(D)
8 Lately 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.
9 You drive the women of my people
from their pleasant homes.(E)
You take away my blessing
from their children forever.
10 Get up, go away!
For this is not your resting place,(F)
because it is defiled,(G)
it is ruined, beyond all remedy.
11 If a liar and deceiver(H) comes and says,
‘I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,’(I)
that would be just the prophet for this people!(J)
