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

⁶ ‘Do not speak out,’ so they speak out.
But if they do not speak out concerning these things,
Reproaches will not be turned back.
⁷ “Is it being said, O house of Jacob:
‘Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient?
Are these His doings?’
Do not My words do good
To the one walking uprightly?
⁸ “Recently My people have arisen as an enemy—
You strip the robe off the garment
From unsuspecting passers-by,
From those returned from war.
⁹ “The women of My people you evict,
Each one from her pleasant house.
From her children you take My splendor forever.
¹⁰ “Arise and go,
For this is no place of rest
Because of the uncleanness that brings on destruction,
A painful destruction.
¹¹ “If a man walking after wind and falsehood
Had told lies and said,
‘I will speak out to you concerning wine and liquor,’
He would be spokesman to this people.
