Micah 2:6

God's Word Rejected

⁵ Therefore, there will be no one
in the assembly of the Lord
to divide the land by casting lots. ⁶ “Quit your preaching,” they preach.
“They should not preach these things;
shame will not overtake us.”
⁷ House of Jacob, should it be asked,
“Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient?
Are these the things He does?”
Don’t My words bring good
to the one who walks uprightly?
