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

⁶ To those who speak out, they will declare, "Don't prophesy to anyone!' so their shame won't go away. ⁷ "It is said, house of Jacob, "The Spirit of the LORD is limited, if he acts this way, is he not?' "But my words benefit those who live righteously, do they not? ⁸ Lately my people have acted like an enemy you strip travelers who thought they were as secure as those who return from war. ⁹ You have evicted the wives of my people from their dream homes; you have removed my majesty from their children permanently. ¹⁰ "Get up and go, because there's no rest for you here! Since everything is polluted, it can only cause destruction, even heavy destruction. ¹¹ Suppose a man who keeps company with a deceiving spirit prophesies like this: "Drink wine and strong drink!' Won't the people accept him as a prophet?"
