Micah 2:6-11

Lexham English Bible

⁶ “Do not preach!” they are preaching.
    They should not preach to these;
    disgrace will not overtake us.
⁷ Should this be said, O house of Jacob?
    Is the patience^[a] of Yahweh shortened?
    Are these his deeds?
Are my words not pleasing
    to him who walks upright?
⁸ But recently^[b] my people have risen up as an enemy;
    from before the cloak you strip off the robe
from those passing by in confidence,
    returning from war.
⁹ You have driven out the women of my people
    from the houses of their^[c] pleasure.
From their^[d] children you have taken away
    my glory forever.
¹⁰ Arise and go,
    for this is no resting place,
on account of uncleanness that destroys
    with painful destruction.
¹¹ If a man walks about in a spirit of deception and lies,
    saying “I will preach to you of wine and strong drink,”
    then he would be a preacher for this people!
