Micah 2:6-11
‘ Do not prophesy,’ so they prophesy. But if they do not prophesy about these things, Insults will not be turned back.Is it being said, house of Jacob:‘ Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient? Are these His works?’ Do My words not do good For the one walking rightly?Recently My people have arisen as an enemy— You strip the robe off the garment From unsuspecting passers by, From those returned from war.You evict the women of My people, Each one from her pleasant house. From her children you take My splendor forever.Arise and go, For this is no place of rest Because of the uncleanness that brings on destruction, A painful destruction.If someone walking after wind and falsehood Had lied and said,‘ I will prophesy to you about wine and liquor,’ He would become a prophet to this people.
