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

⁶ "Do not preach!" they are preaching. They should not preach to these; disgrace will not overtake us. ⁷ Should [this] be said, O house of Jacob? Is the patience of Yahweh shortened? [Are] these his deeds? Are my words not pleasing to him who walks upright? ⁸ But {recently} my people have risen up as an enemy; from before the cloak you strip off the robe from those passing by [in] confidence, returning [from] war. ⁹ You have driven out the women of my people from the houses of their pleasure. From their children you have taken away my glory forever. ¹⁰ Arise and go, for this [is] no resting place, on account of uncleanness [that] destroys with painful destruction. ¹¹ If a man walks about in a spirit of deception and lies, [saying] "I will preach to you of wine and strong drink," then he would be a preacher [for] this people!
