Micah 2:11-13
New King James Version
11 If a man should walk in a false spirit
And speak a lie, saying,
‘I will [a]prophesy to you [b]of wine and drink,’
Even he would be the (A)prattler of this people.
Israel Restored
12 “I(B) will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob,
I will surely gather the remnant of Israel;
I will put them together (C)like sheep of [c]the fold,
Like a flock in the midst of their pasture;
(D)They shall make a loud noise because of so many people.
13 The one who breaks open will come up before them;
They will break out,
Pass through the gate,
And go out by it;
(E)Their king will pass before them,
(F)With the Lord at their head.”

King James Version
11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord on the head of them.

Micah 2:11-13
English Standard Version
11 If a man should go about and (A)utter wind and lies,
saying, “I will preach to you (B)of wine and strong drink,”
he would be the preacher for this people!
12 I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob;
(C)I will gather (D)the remnant of Israel;
I will set them together
like sheep in a fold,
(E)like a flock in its pasture,
a noisy multitude of men.
13 (F)He who opens the breach goes up before them;
they break through and pass the gate,
(G)going out by it.
Their king passes on before them,
(H)the Lord at their head.
