Micah 2:6-11
New American Standard Bible
6 ‘(A)Do not prophesy,’ so they prophesy.
But if [a]they do (B)not prophesy about these things,
(C)Insults will not be turned back.
7 Is it being said, house of Jacob:
‘Is the Spirit of the Lord (D)impatient?
Are these His works?’
Do My words not (E)do good
For the one (F)walking rightly?
8 [b]Recently My people have arisen as an (G)enemy—
You (H)strip the robe off the garment
From (I)unsuspecting passers-by,
From those returned from war.
9 You (J)evict the women of My people,
Each one from her pleasant house.
From her children you take My (K)splendor forever.
10 Arise and go,
For this is no place (L)of rest
Because of the (M)uncleanness that brings on destruction,
A painful destruction.
11 If someone walking after wind and (N)falsehood
Had lied and said,
‘I will prophesy to you about (O)wine and liquor,’
He would become a prophet to (P)this people.
Micah 2:6-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
God’s Word Rejected
6 “Quit your preaching,”(A) they[a] preach.
“They should not preach these things;(B)
shame will not overtake us.”[b](C)
7 House of Jacob, should it be asked,
“Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient?(D)
Are these the things He does?”
Don’t My words bring good(E)
to the one who walks uprightly?(F)
8 But recently My people have risen up
like an enemy:(G)
You strip off the splendid robe(H)
from those who are passing through confidently,(I)
like those returning from war.
9 You force(J) the women of My people
out of their comfortable homes,
and you take My blessing[c](K)
from their children forever.
10 Get up and leave,
for this is not your place of rest,(L)
because defilement(M) brings destruction—
a grievous destruction!(N)
11 If a man of wind[d] comes
and invents lies:(O)
“I will preach to you about wine and beer,”(P)
he would be just the preacher for this people!(Q)
