Micah 2:6-11

World English Bible

⁶ “Don’t prophesy!”
    They prophesy.
“Don’t prophesy about these things.
    Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
⁷ Shall it be said, O house of Jacob:
    “Is Yahweh’s Spirit angry?
    Are these his doings?
    Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
⁸ But lately my people have risen up as an enemy.
    You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
⁹ You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses;
    from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
¹⁰ Arise, and depart!
    For this is not your resting place,
    because of uncleanness that destroys,
    even with a grievous destruction.
¹¹ If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies:
    “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink;”
    he would be the prophet of this people.
