Micah 2:6-11

Expanded Bible

⁶ The ·prophets [or preachers] say, “Don’t ·prophesy [or preach] to us!
    Don’t ·prophesy [preach] about these things!
    ·Nothing to make us feel bad will happen [^LDisgrace/Humiliation will not overtake us]!”
⁷ But I must say this, ·people [^Lhouse] of Jacob:
    ·The Lord is becoming angry [or Does not the Lord grow impatient…?] about what you have done.
·My words are welcome [or Are not my words good…?]
    to the person who ·does what is right [^Lwalks uprightly].
⁸ But ·you are fighting against my people like an enemy [or my people have risen up against me as an enemy].
    You ·take the coats [strip off the rich robe] from people who pass by peacefully;
    ·you plan war [or …like men returning from war].
⁹ You have ·forced [cast out; evicted] the women of my people
    from their ·nice [pleasant] houses;
you have taken my glory
    from their children forever.
¹⁰ ·Get up [Arise] and leave.
    This is not your place of rest anymore.
You have made this place ·unclean [defiled],
    and it is doomed to destruction.
¹¹ ·But you people want a false prophet
    who will tell you nothing but lies
[^LIf a man, coming as wind/spirit and lies,
    should lie to you…].
You want one who ·promises to prophesy good things for you
    if you give him wine and beer [or will prophesy wine and beer for you].
He’s just the prophet for you.
