Micah 2:6-11

False Prophets

“Do not prophesy,” their prophets say.

“Do not prophesy about these things;

disgrace will not overtake us.”

You descendants of Jacob, should it be said,

“Does the Lord become2:7 Or Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient?

Does he do such things?”

“Do not my words do good

to the one whose ways are upright?

Lately my people have risen up

like an enemy.

You strip off the rich robe

from those who pass by without a care,

like men returning from battle.

You drive the women of my people

from their pleasant homes.

You take away my blessing

from their children forever.

Get up, go away!

For this is not your resting place,

because it is defiled,

it is ruined, beyond all remedy.

If a liar and deceiver comes and says,

‘I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,’

that would be just the prophet for this people!
