Micah 2:6-11
American Standard Version
6 [a]Prophesy ye not, thus they prophesy. They shall not prophesy [b]to these: reproaches shall not depart. 7 [c]Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the Spirit of Jehovah [d]straitened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly? 8 But [e]of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip the robe from off the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war. 9 The women of my people ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children ye take away my glory for ever. 10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your resting-place; because of uncleanness that destroyeth, even with a grievous destruction. 11 If a man walking [f]in a spirit of falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
