Micah 2:7

God's Word Rejected

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?
⁸ But recently My people have risen up
like an enemy:
You strip off the splendid robe
from those who are passing through confidently,
like those returning from war.
