And lament [with a loud, mournful cry] like the ostriches.

On behalf of Moresheth-gath (Micah’s home);
The houses of Achzib (Place of Deceit) will become a deception

Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors.'" Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the assembly of the LORD. "Do not prophesy." They prophesy. "Do not prophesy about these things. Disgrace won't overtake us." Shall it be said, O house of Jacob: "Is the Spirit of the LORD angry? Are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?" But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle. You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever. Arise, and depart. For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction. If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies: "I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink;" he would be the prophet of this people.
