Micah 2:6-11

English Standard Version ESV

6 "Do not preach"--thus they preach-- "one should not preach of such things; disgrace will not overtake us."

7 Should this be said, O house of Jacob? Has the LORD grown impatient? Are these his deeds? Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly?

8 But lately my people have risen up as an enemy; you strip the rich robe from those who pass by trustingly with no thought of war.

9 The women of my people you drive out from their delightful houses; from their young children you take away my splendor forever.

10 Arise and go, for this is no place to rest, because of uncleanness that destroys with a grievous destruction.

11 If a man should go about and utter wind and lies, saying, "I will preach to you of wine and strong drink," he would be the preacher for this people!
