Micah 2:11
Common English Bible
11 If someone were to go about inspired and say deceitfully:
“I will preach to you for wine and liquor,”
such a one would be the preacher for this people!
Micah 2:11
Easy-to-Read Version
11 These people don’t want to listen to me.
But if a man comes telling lies, they will accept him.
They would accept a false prophet if he comes and says,
“There will be good times in the future, with plenty of wine and beer.”
Micah 2:11
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.
