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!
Micah 2:6-11
English Standard Version
6 (A)“Do not preach”—thus they preach—
(B)“one should not preach of such things;
(C)disgrace will not overtake us.”
7 Should this be said, O house of Jacob?
(D)Has the Lord grown impatient?[a]
Are these his deeds?
Do not my words do good
to him who walks uprightly?
8 But lately (E)my people have risen up as an enemy;
you strip the rich robe from those who pass by trustingly
with no thought of war.[b]
9 The women of my people you drive out
from their delightful houses;
from their young children you take away
my splendor forever.
10 (F)Arise and go,
for this is no (G)place to rest,
because of (H)uncleanness that destroys
with a grievous destruction.
11 If a man should go about and (I)utter wind and lies,
saying, “I will preach to you (J)of wine and strong drink,”
he would be the preacher for this people!
