Micah
Chapters 2:5-11
Revised Version 1885
5Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the line by lot in the congregation of the Lord.
6Prophesy ye not, thus they prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these: reproaches shall not depart.
7Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the spirit of the Lord straitened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
8But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip the robe from off the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
9The women of my people ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children ye take away my glory for ever.
10Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because of uncleanness that destroyeth, even with a grievous destruction.
11If a man walking in wind and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
