Micah 2:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses, and from their children have ye taken away [a]my glory continually.
10 Arise and depart, for this is not your [b]rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
11 If a man [c]walk in the spirit, and would lie falsely, saying, [d]I will prophesy unto thee of wine, and of strong drink, he shall even be the prophet of this people.

Micah 2:9-11
New International Version
9 You drive the women of my people
from their pleasant homes.(A)
You take away my blessing
from their children forever.
10 Get up, go away!
For this is not your resting place,(B)
because it is defiled,(C)
it is ruined, beyond all remedy.
11 If a liar and deceiver(D) comes and says,
‘I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,’(E)
that would be just the prophet for this people!(F)
