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

⁶ "Tush, hold your tongue," say they. "It shall not fall on this people, we shall not come so to confusion," ⁷ sayeth the house of Jacob. Is the spirit of the LORD so clean away? Or is he so minded? Truth it is, my words are friendly unto them that live right: ⁸ but my people doth the contrary, therefore must I take part against them. For they take away both coat and cloak from the simple. Ye have turned yourselves to fight; ⁹ the women of my people have ye shot out from their good houses, and taken away my excellent gifts from their children. ¹⁰ Up, get you hence, for here shall ye have no rest. Because of their Idolatry they are corrupt, and shall miserably perish. ¹¹ If I were a fleshly fellow, and a preacher of lies, and told them that they might sit bibbing and bolling, and be drunken: O that were a Prophet for this people!
