Micah 2:6-11 - God's Word Rejected

⁶ Prophesy ye not, they prophesy. If they do not prophesy to these, the ignominy will not depart. ⁷ O thou that art named the house of Jacob, Is Jehovah impatient? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly? ⁸ But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip off the mantle with the garment from them that pass by securely, that are averse from war. ⁹ The women of my people do ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children do ye take away my magnificence for ever. ¹⁰ Arise ye, and depart; for this is not the resting-place, because of defilement that bringeth destruction, even a grievous destruction. ¹¹ If a man walking in wind and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink, he shall be the prophet of this people.
