6 “Do not prattle,” you say to those who prophesy.So they shall not prophesy to you;They shall not return insult for insult.
7 You who are named the house of Jacob:“Is the Spirit of the Lord restricted?Are these His doings?Do not My words do goodTo him who walks uprightly?
8 “Lately My people have risen up as an enemy—You pull off the robe with the garmentFrom those who trust you, as they pass by,Like men returned from war.
9 The women of My people you cast outFrom their pleasant houses;From their childrenYou have taken away My glory forever.
10 “Arise and depart,For this is not your rest;Because it is defiled, it shall destroy,Yes, with utter destruction.
11 If a man should walk in a false spiritAnd speak a lie, saying,‘I will prophesy to you of wine and drink,’Even he would be the prattler of this people.
12 “I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob,I will surely gather the remnant of Israel;I will put them together like sheep of the fold,Like a flock in the midst of their pasture;They shall make a loud noise because of so many people.
