6 “Don’t prophesy!”They prophesy.“Don’t prophesy about these things.Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
7 Shall it be said, O house of Jacob:“Is the Lord’s Spirit angry?Are these his doings?Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
8 But lately my people have risen up as an enemy.You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
9 You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses;from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
10 Arise, and depart!For this is not your resting place,because of uncleanness that destroys,even with a grievous destruction.
11 If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies:“I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink;”he would be the prophet of this people.
12 I will surely assemble, Jacob, all of you;I will surely gather the remnant of Israel;I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah,as a flock in the middle of their pasture;they will swarm with people.
